In the second of our rail industry-focused episodes to celebrate 200 years of the modern railway, Active Training Team’s Director Adam Christopher explores the challenges and opportunities facing the UK rail industry as it looks to attract its future workforce. Speaking with young apprentices, site managers, and industry leaders at the Transpennine Route Upgrade project, the episode reveals how few young people are aware of careers in rail, the strong role of family influence, and the pride and purpose many find in the sector.
