UKRIA deadline extended due to popular demand
The deadline for the 2017 edition of the prestigious UK Rail Industry Awards has been given a further extension due to popular demand.
Entries across the 23 categories have been flooding in, much more than we had anticipated, so RTM has taken the decision to extend the closing date until Monday 10 October 2016. This will be the final extension to this year’s awards, with no entries being taken after this date.
Once all the entries are in, our independent cross-industry panel of judges will begin the tough task of analysing all the submissions.

UKRIA director Roy Rowlands said: “So far this year, we have received an unprecedented amount of entries for the fourth edition of our awards.
“Winning one of the 28 coveted awards will raise the profile of your organisation in front of an audience of key rail industry decision-makers and professionals responsible for running the UK rail industry.
“If you have a story to tell that’s worthy of the attention of the UK Rail Industry Awards’ pan-industry panel of judges and would like to win one of these coveted awards, then enter today.”
