Thanks for sharing your experience at Network Rail and for pointing out the frustrations you'd encountered. We're working hard to remove bureaucracy through our Putting Passengers First programme. and this is providing lots of opportunity for devolved decision making. We'd hope that your experience today would be much different from what you may have encountered previously. Thanks again for your comments and we wish you all the very best for the future.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate the feedback both positive and contructive. It's a shame that you've left but as an organisation our aspiration is that the behaviours and actions that support diversity and inclusion will come from the conviction of everyone here at Network Rail. As such we have various processes and support in place such as HR colleagues, a Diversity and Inclusion team, Diversity and Inclusion champions as well as policies and guidance to support our colleagues. Adding to this is our speak-out line. Speak Out is our confidential reporting service run on our behalf by an independent company. You can use the service to raise concerns about behaviours anonymously that might go against our business ethics. Reinold Talent Acquisition Manager
