Events
We have monthly events; either informative meetings or field visits, followed by drinks and the opportunity to meet senior industry managers and talk with colleagues from other parts of the industry. 
In addition, we also organise evening networking opportunities for rail managers.
Unless otherwise stated, South-East meetings take place at 16.30 for 17.00 at the Union Jack Club (leave Waterloo station by the Jubilee line exit onto Waterloo Road, cross the traffic lights and turn into Sandell Street - see this map). The location of Midlands and Northwest meetings varies and therefore details will be published prior to each event.
Regular field-visits are organised and further information is listed below (booking is essential as places are limited). We also arrange seasonal Get Togethers which offer a chance for Young Professionals to meet and get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Details of these events are also listed below.
