Spring has, apparently, sprung and we welcome our second issue of Global Railway Review to 2024! The last couple of months has felt like the industry is beginning to warm-up, a build-up of energy and anticipation for what the rest of the year might hold. At the end of March, Emily and I were lucky enough to attend the RIA Innovation Conference in Wales, where we met more amazing individuals and heard some fantastic keynotes from speakers not just in our industry but from Highways UK, Uber and more!
In this issue of Global Railway Review, you’ll find a fantastic update from Matej Zakonjšek, Director, Permanent Secretariat of the Transport Community in our Industry Expert Opinion pages; our Regional Profile looking at the latest developments of rail in the Middle East; an exclusive Infrastructure feature with pieces by Oana Crisan, civil design engineering solutions expert and Simon Fletcher, Independent Rail Expert and supporter of GCRE.
The Summer Issue of Global Railway Review also includes:
