Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate the feedback, both positive and constructive. In terms of development - we have a variety of internal courses available and do support our employees with progression, be it sideways movements or training. I would advise speaking to your manager or HR colleagues on the steps/ opportunities you can utilize to get to the next stage in your career. Reinold Talent Acquisition Manager

Thanks for leaving a review! Thanks for the feedback regarding safety - I appreciate there can be frustrations with this but as a safety critical company, safety is at the heart of what we do for the sake of our employees and passengers. We encourage safety throughout the organisation so our office workers and staff on track equally have safety on the forefront of their minds. We want "everybody home safe everyday." https://www.networkrail.co.uk/who-we-are/our-approach-to-safety/our-safety-vision/ Reinold Talent Acquisition Manager
