Every day Network Rail gets more than four million people to their destination and thousands of tonnes of goods moved around the country. Rail is a green and safe mode of transport so it’s no surprise that our railway has seen passenger numbers increase more than 40 per cent in the last decade alone. We run 20,000 miles of track, 40,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts, 18 major stations, 8,200 commercial properties and 2,500 stations leased to train operators. Whichever trade you choose, you’ll be working to transform this vast network of rail, signals, electrifi ed lines and telecommunications so they’re ready for the future. We’re in the midst of the largest expansion of our network since the railway boom of the 19th century. Recent major projects have included the redevelopment of Kings Cross and Birmingham New Street stations.
