Women in Rail: What is next and how can we all shape the future railway?

WR London

Women in Rail webinar: EMA, ERMAs, and concessions - what is next and how can we all shape the railway of the future?

EMA, ERMAs, a pending Williams Review and a concession-based railway - UK railway has gone through dramatic changes during 2020 and it is not clear what the final set up will be. The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly brought lots of changes and shaken the industry to the core. 
Running a maximum number of trains with a very limited number of passengers allows social distancing and has therefore managed to keep the people who have to travel safe. There is no confirmed case of transmission which can be traced back to public transport. What does this drastic reduction in income mean for operators, who takes over the risk? How can we upskill current railway employees and future generations to be able to address the challenge of a fixed cost heavy industry and falling travel demand?
While any future-gazing is difficult, we would like to discuss with you and our speakers what the railway of the future could look like and how we can all take part in shaping it. To set the stage, two speakers will provide an overview of the changes which took place in the last 8 months and will discuss what is likely to come. Tammy Samuel and Darren Fodey, Partners at Stephenson Harwood LLP will explain the legal implications and Neil Robertson, Chief Executive of the UK National Skills Academy for Rail (NSAR) will discuss changes to our workforce and skillsets.
