Exclusive interviews and insight – the latest edition of RailDirector is now online

We are pleased to reveal that the February edition of our RailDirector magazine is now available online, and the best news is you can read it for free by clicking here.

The magazine continues to go from strength to strength with the latest edition featuring an exclusive interview with Sir John Armitt CBE, Chair of the National Infrastructure Commission (NIC), amongst other high-profile industry leaders.

He spoke to RailDirector shortly after the release of NIC’s Rail Needs Assessment report, which will inform the government’s forthcoming Integrated Rail Plan.

He says: “The government, like it or not, is going to have to make some tough choices. Our job was to break all of the information down and present, by taking all of these different projects and elements for rail improvements that exist, what is a reasonable basis for the government to progress.”

Over 2,000 exclusive copies have already been sent to rail industry leaders and subscribers, but now thousands more can click here to view the magazine that covers everything from track to train.

February’s edition features a host of features including Shadow Transport Secretary Jim McMahon and Merseyrail’s Neil Young, who in addition to his day job had to prepare Marine football club for an FA Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur.

There is also a contribution from Transport for London’s Transport Commissioner Andy Byford, who writes: “It has been a challenging start to my role, but thanks to the commitment, hard work and support of all TfL colleagues and our many stakeholders across the city, we have worked together to keep London moving.”

Editor Dean Bruce said: “The feedback we have received since releasing the printed edition of the magazine last week has been fantastic. I am delighted that thousands more people can now view it online.

“February’s edition features a real mix of stories, which I hope will be of great interest to everyone working in the rail industry. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed. We’ve really enjoyed telling their stories and showcasing some incredible businesses, all of whom play a vital role in an industry envied all over the world.”

RailDirector magazine is part of a group which also includes the hugely popular railbusinessdaily.com newsletter, delivering more than 70 stories a week to 50,000 rail industry professionals.

Christian Wiles, who leads the RBDPublications team, said: “I’d like to thank all the businesses that have shown confidence in RailDirector and continue to support it.

“We’re hearing some great stories about the positive impact of appearing in the magazine and there’s been a huge amount of interest from organisations who want to feature in the March edition.

“Spaces are filling up very quickly for the next few issues, so anyone wanting to tell their story or promote their business should get in touch soon, otherwise they might miss out.”
