Welcome to the Railway Division South-East Centre
Welcome to the Railway Division South-East Centre 2022-2023 Programme
The big change for this year is moving our talks to the offices of the Rail Safety and Standards Board. The facilities at RSSB will allow us to deliver hybrid events whilst keeping our centre identity and minimising costs. We are planning for all our events to be hybrid in format, which provides networking opportunities and greater interaction with the speakers as well as the facility to attend remotely if you cannot be there in person. We are also changing from Mondays to a Thursday evening schedule for our events to better suit members’ working patterns.
My committee has again planned an excellent programme for this year. We have tried to cover a range of topics to provide a breadth of information to our members. We plan to cover high speed infrastructure, signalling upgrades, new rolling stock, train testing, rail research and the wheel-rail interface.
We will of course be holding the South-East regional heat of the Future of Rail presentation competition from the next generation of rail engineers.
As always, if you would like to volunteer for the IMechE then we would welcome your help on the Railway Division Southeast Centre committee.
