Yesterday saw the close of a remarkable week for the rail industry. It was a week of cross-industry collaboration; a week of targeted rail events for young people across the country; and a truly inspiring week. It was Rail Week, and it was a resounding success.
Successful not only for the Young Rail Professionals, who envisioned a unified industry recruitment drive, but for all of the organisations, companies, volunteers, attendees and participants involved. Rail Week provided an opportunity to engage with the future generations of our industry, to showcase the diversity of careers available, and to redraw the image of rail as the exciting, innovative industry we know it to be.

YRP would like to thank everyone who helped make Rail Week such a phenomenal success. We are extremely grateful for the support and encouragement from the rail industry as a whole, and all the organisations, companies and individuals who turned Rail Week from an idea to an exceptional reality. Thanks to the DfT, BIS, Rail Alliance and the RIA for providing funding, HSRIL for their PR support, and to all of our Corporate Members, without whom these ventures would not be possible.
