Dedicated to helping the industry to address the skills shortage in rail-related roles and inspire a generation of young people, Rail Week 2017 (9-15 October) is already gaining momentum, with industry leaders including Rail Delivery Group, Transport for London, Great Western Railway and the National Skills Academy for Rail providing essential support and collaboration.

The dedicated week of activity organised by Young Rail Professionals (YRP) aims to bring the rail industry in all its guises closer to schools, teachers, career advisors and students through a series of events, visits and talks.
