The future of the rail network - WEET Forum event |
| |
It is planned that this seminar will provide a timely opportunity to assess the challenges for Britain’s rail network - including opportunities for innovation - and the implications of network growth for passenger rail, freight transport and for wider society.
It will draw in part on insights from the recent launch of high speed rail services in the South East of England, and follows the recent announcement of plans for a further high speed rail network linking London, Birmingham, Manchester, the East Midlands, Sheffield and Leeds.
Including keynote addresses from the Director of Planning and Development, Network Rail and the Managing Director of Southeastern, planned sessions will examine:
· The story so far: high speed rail in the South East;
· The view from Network Rail on the future of the rail network;
· Challenges associated with passenger rail including pricing, accessibility, capacity and network planning;
· The strategies for improving and growing rail freight services and the competition faced in doing so; and
· Economic and environmental issues associated with network expansion.
The cost is £190+VAT per delegate. Concessions available. |
