East Midlands Railway welcomed 14 Year 8 students from Bolsover School to its Derby headquarters for a rail industry careers day. Funded by EMR, CrossCountry, and Community Rail Network, the visit gave students direct exposure to roles they may not have previously considered.
Highlights included time on a driver training simulator, where students learned about signalling and train operations, and a ticketing session covering different fare types and e-ticket issuance. Students also met managers from departments spanning engineering, operations, marketing, and apprenticeships.
Feedback from students and teachers was positive, with many noting the day broadened their awareness of available career paths. EMR expressed interest in running similar events for other schools across the East Midlands.
