Opportunities for apprenticeships within Network Rail are being highlighted – as figures show the career route is popular but there is a lack of knowledge about the wide range of options available.

TRU has announced plans to rebuild Station Road railway bridge in Cross Gates between March and November this year as part of its programme of improvements to deliver more frequent, faster, greener trains on a more reliable railway.

Network Rail have now opened tenders for a £100m programme partner to support the delivery of the Transpennine Route Upgrade – a multi-billion-pound railway electrification programme that will transform journeys across the Pennines, better connecting towns and cities like Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York.  

As TRU celebrates National Apprenticeship Week, the halfway mark has already been surpassed in its aim to take on 590 apprentices across the entire duration of the programme. 

Goole station visitors are reminded that Network Rail’s subway pump replacement project will get under way next week.

Passengers are advised of weekend work which will see major strides made in a project delivering better journeys on the Midland Main Line.

Passengers are being advised of changes to services while important ground investigations take place north of Barnsley.

Rail passengers and the wider community are being thanked for their patience following essential renewal work at Skerne Road level crossing in Driffield.
