Speaking at the Energy & Sustainability Summit
The agenda
· Outlining the key recruitment challenges to making rail a more inclusive, welcoming and diverse profession · What steps can operators, infrastructure managers and technology providers take to make a career in rail a more desirable profession? · Do universities need to take a leading role in advocating for the industry? · How do we prepare for the generational shift which is affecting railway workers and ensure there are enough people to operate the system in the future Energy & Sustainability, Tuesday 29 November 2022

12:50Is Rail’s green leadership under threat?
- Rail has benefited from significant policy support because of its green credentials and ability to transport large numbers of people.
- However, its green lead over road transport is rapidly diminishing with the electrification of road transport eBus / personal vehicles / e-bikes and micromobility
- More working from home is reducing the congestion challenge for road during commuter peaks
- What does this mean for rail's future? What can be done about it?
