On International Women’s Day (Tuesday 8 March), three women describe their journeys to a career in the rail industry in Anglia with Network Rail, in what’s traditionally been a male dominated industry.

A quarter of a mile of track and five sets of points have been renewed at Bishops Stortford to reduce delays and improve reliability of rail services for passengers travelling between London and Cambridge, Stansted and Kings Lynn.

Network Rail has awarded a major design and delivery contract to Alstom as part of a £194 million investment for the renewal of the signalling systems in the Cambridge area.
