A round of applause
What a night! UKRIA was a wonderful celebration of the rail industry, and the amount raised for the next generation of the workforce is incredible – £85,000 and still counting.
Every winner and all those nominated should be very proud of the work they have achieved; it’s these projects, big and small, that keep the network running safely and efficiently each day.
Too often the media around the railways can focus on what has gone wrong – leaves on the line, delayed trains and unhappy passengers.
But there is so much that we do right, that we deliver with excellence. It’s important to recognise these moments as well as the bad if we are to inspire more young people to see a career in rail as something to aspire to.
Congratulations again, and thank you so much to everybody who helped make the night such a success. Here’s to the next year!
