The IRO Midlands area is finalising its 2011-12 events programme and is pleased to announce that this year, we will also be delivering events at Network Rail’s Milton Keynes Central offices as well as our traditional venues of the Mailbox in Birmingham and East Midlands Control Centre in Derby.
Our programme will have a mixture of presentations and site visits to suit all interests. Topics are expected to cover the full span of infrastructure management and engineering, train operations, freight and passenger business, customer service and retail provision, train planning and more. All sessions will be closely coupled to modules in the IRO learning and development programme. An early highlight of the season will be the meeting in October, planned to be a joint event with the South East and North West branches, looking at Network Rail’s future traffic management programme.
Headline dates and venues in the programme will be as listed below, but there may be other events scheduled in between times to suit. Topics for each of these sessions are being finalised presently and will be published in the next edition.
