What might prevent you considering a career in rail?
For the most part it's lack of information, this forum has been fantastic, it's made me aware of companies in this sector that I didn't know existed and I can pass this information to our students. Generally speaking careers advisors and students rely on organisations like this one to get information about different sectors and employers where information is in one place.
For me, only 1 year into my rail career and 23yrs old, I think the public believe the only jobs on the railway are drivers/signallers/guards. I'm not sure other young people understand the diversity and variety of roles on offer.
The industry is getting much better at promoting the variety jobs available but there is still more to be done.
