      Thanks for your positive review and for sharing details around the leave entitlement and volunteer leave. it's disappointing to hear that you saw (career) progression as a bit slow and hope this isn't the reason you left the business. Network Rail prides itself on the progression and development opportunities for our colleagues and so we'd love to get any further feedback from you on how we could improve this. Thanks again for your review and we wish you every success in your design engineer career.

      Thanks for your review and for highlighting the opportunities at Network Rail. We were really interested to hear about the culture of some teams and we're hoping that the Putting Passengers First programme will help bring a united focus across all teams on doing what's best for our customers. Thanks again.

      Hi and thank you so much for providing a review, really pleased that you find the culture and work as positive. We're working hard to remove bureaucracy and the Putting Passengers First programme is proving lots of opportunity for devolved decision making, something that we have seen really come into it's own during the COVID 19 crisis. Please do chat to your line manager or through our Putting Passengers First Yammer group for any suggestions you think could help us to continually improve. Thanks again.
