Abstract

We are joined by Tom Joyner, Managing Director of Arriva Trains Wales.

Though Arriva have withdrawn from the competition over the next franchise, they have operated services across Wales for over a decade. The operation is diverse (from single track to full ‘Digital Railway’) and the challenge of the geographical environment in providing a service shall prove especially interesting. Tom is a rising star in the railway industry and so no doubt inspire you all who attend.

Mixed audience, from many different subject areas. All welcomed to come.

About the CURC :

Founded in 1911 from the Cambridge University branch of The Railway Club, Cambridge University Railway Club (CURC) is the second oldest railway enthusiast club in the world! The CURC arranges an event in Cambridge most weeks during Full Term, most often a presentation by an invited speaker, almost always a key professional from the rail industry, on a specific subject. The club is not just train talk, but about how the railway works. We have a celebrated history of CURC alumni who now work in the railway industry, with some at quite senior levels.

Membership for students costs £10 per year or £25 for life membership. Come and try us out, gain exclusive access to key railway professionals (and depots), you might just want to become a member! (We won’t tell anyone you are ;) )
