The railway industry in the UK is positively booming. Nearly 20% of all European passenger journeys take place in the UK alone. The
network is the fastest growing in Europe, and opportunities will continue to expand in the sector. There are currently 2,500 stations in the
UK running 4,000 trains with 32,000 track kilometers. This is only going to expand over years to come, and the sector will have a demand
for engineers to not only create these new expansions but to maintain the current ones too.
