Description
Ever wanted to know how a station really works? This is your chance to find out!
Join us for an open day at the Virgin Rail Academy in York (access off the main station footbridge – follow the signs on the day!)
What’s on offer?
– Displays, videos and careers information from across the rail industry in York, from drivers to designers!
– Historic photos and plans – see how the station has changed over the years
– Take a tour of the station and see how the station really works! Each tour will be jointly led by Virgin and Network Rail staff, explaining everything from how to despatch a train and look after customers to how the signalling and electrification make it possible to send a train from York to London in just two hours!
