With capacity remaining a key challenge and demand for rail only increasing, attend to discuss how you can run lines at capacity and still meet passenger expectations. Also consider how we can challenge negative perceptions of rail industry, work more collaboratively as an industry and ensure there are the necessary skills and training to maintain the railway.
The day will also consider what needs to be included in franchise bids, looking at recently awarded franchises and the lessons that can be learned. You will also have the opportunity to hear the latest news on planned developments and improvements for the UK rail network, exploring how these will offer increased capacity and a better customer experience for passengers.
