All aboard for Railtex 2015

Source: RTM Apr/May 15

The twelfth edition of the UK’s premier rail event is opening its doors at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham from 12-14 May 2015, with leading figures from the industry offering informed insights into future rail policies and trends. 

Against a backdrop of continuing investment in rail, Railtex 2015 provides an unequalled opportunity for companies from all areas of the supply chain to present their latest products and capabilities to an audience of top managers and decision-makers. 

Aiming to build on the success of Railtex 2013, which was visited by more than 8,200 industry professionals, this year’s show offers a range of exhibitions, speeches and updates on major projects. 

Located in the main exhibition hall, the Knowledge Hub will be one of two areas at the show where seminars and keynote speeches will take place.

Familiar features from previous Railtex and Infrarail shows will be incorporated in the show. These include The Yard display area for vehicles and larger pieces of equipment and The Track, providing a fitting setting for rail-mounted machinery and products. 

Networking opportunities will include the second Railtex Awards dinner, where achievements by exhibitors will be celebrated.
