Standing up against racism and discrimination in the rail industry. That is the topic of the cover feature in the latest RailDirector in an interview with Network Rail’s Loraine Martins OBE.
The Director of Diversity and Inclusion spoke with the magazine shortly after Network Rail was named as one of The Times Top 50 Employers for Women.
She said: “It is a great testament to the efforts of my colleagues in the business to make this a place that women want to be in, want to stay in, and that they can thrive in.
“I want to continue to help the rail industry be the best it possibly can be. We’re facing in the right direction and we’ve done some good things and what’s really been heartening has been the increasing sense of collaboration across the sector for diversity and inclusion.”

The release of the magazine online follows the delivery of more than 2,200 hard copies to rail industry leaders and subscribers.
Also in the June edition of RailDirector is a special on the release of the Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail White Paper, an article from Freighliner’s Rail Strategy Manager Peter Graham and an interview with Nick Elliott, a former Network Rail worker who last year was the Director General of the UK Vaccine Taskforce. Nick was made a companion of the Order of the Bath in last week’s Queen’s Birthday Honours list.
David McLoughlin, CEO of the Business Daily Group, said: “It’s always an exciting moment for me when the magazine goes online and even more people get to read it. This edition is particularly great with it being our tenth. It also comes shortly after the release of our first InsideTrack magazine, which like RailDirector has been greatly received by the industry.
“I say this every month, but I’d like to thank all those who have featured and put their trust in us to share their story, showcase their products and services. Collaboration is the buzz word and we have that in abundance when it comes to our publications and the services we offer.”
Chris Wiles, who leads the RBDPublications team, said: “It is incredible to think we are already at issue number 10 of the magazine. The time has flown by and the enthusiasm to appear in the magazine continues to grow and grow.
“Work is well underway on July’s edition with some excellent features lined up and the space to showcase your organisation is filling up very quickly.”
