"Destination Customer" - in association with the University of Birmingham - 13 July 2022. Details coming soon! We enjoyed being at Railtex last week! It was great seeing so many community members exhibiting and visiting the show and being able to have those face-to-face conversations was so valuable. It does however mean that we are now very busy catching up on all the actions and follow ups - but on the plus side - there are some great ideas to progress with!
Good luck to our Railway Children Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge team (David McLoughlin, Rachael Dean, Rachel Woodman, Danny Longhorn and Adam Archer) who set off on Friday 20/05 to conquer Yorkshire's three highest peaks all in support of the fabulous Railway Children charity!
Please send us your news stories and remember to tag us in your LinkedIn and Twitter posts so that we can easily spot them :)
Warmest wishes,
Eli Head of RBD Community
