We are the Professional Association for Young People in the Railway Industry!

Young Rail Professionals (YRP) was founded in 2009 to Promote the railway industry as a great place to work and to Inspire and Develop the next generation of railway talent. YRP brings together people from all aspects of the industry, whether they are involved in engineering, asset management, train operations, strategic planning, maintenance, franchising, regulation, marketing or human relations. YRP is open to any young rail professional.

To inspire our members and enhance their careers, YRP delivers Networking and Development opportunities including technical seminars, presentations, site visits and socials. We also collaborate closely with several other professional institutions to regularly run joint events and initiatives. We also run an award-winning Rail Ambassador programme, providing opportunities for our members to visit schools, colleges and universities to attract the next generation into this dynamic industry.
