Relaying the track to the future for the Midlands
Rail’s role in shaping the future
Across the Midlands there are plenty of projects for industry to be involved with, Midlands Rail Hub, HS2, and freight are just some of the major headline projects for heavy rail and in light rail, there are line expansions as well as upgrades of rolling stock and technology. Listen to Maria, Chief Executive at Midlands Connect explain the opportunities.
This event chaired by Arup will discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with decarbonising rail rolling stock, with a particular focus on freight operators. This cross-sector panel will explore why electrification alone is insufficient and examine other solutions. We will highlight innovative proposals that underscore the complexity and potential of various energy solutions and discuss the role of energy and global stakeholders in this transition. We will draw insights from other transport sectors, identifying lessons learned and potential synergies. The discussion will also address strategic approaches and planning necessary to deliver on the Government’s decarbonisation target and operator business objectives.
