The challenges & opportunities at ScotRail Engineering
About this Event
This talk will cover the engineering challenges associated with delivering trains into service in Scotland and what ScotRail’s engineering team is doing to improve performance, reliability and customer experience.
From modernising behind the scenes in depots across the country to make our Victorian infrastructure ready for modern rolling stock, to upgrading the legacy fleet to improve reliability and passenger comfort. ScotRail’s engineering team recognise the scale of the challenge and opportunity facing us over the next decade as new trains are brought into service to replace legacy fleet.
How can engineering help to improve the experience for passengers? What are the future aspirations for the service and what part will engineering play?
