Thanks for taking the time to share your experience at Network Rail and we're disappointed that this wasn't a positive career step for you. The business is going through significant chance as we focus on Putting Passengers First, removing bureaucracy and devolving decision making. We do hope that in the future you'll see Network Rail as a potential return option, but in the meantime the very best of luck for the future.
