 UK rail freight showcased at Rail Week 2020

DB Cargo UK is proud to support Rail Week and help schools, teachers, career advisers and students learn more about the exciting opportunities a career in rail can provide.

Rail Week celebrates and promotes the diverse and rewarding prospects available across the rail sector. DB Cargo UK is running a week of activities to shine a light on the rail freight industry. Each day we will publish a new and exciting article about what happens day to day at the UKs leading rail freight provider.

Dr Amy Pressland, Head of Learning and Development, DB Cargo UK said “This is a first for DB Cargo UK, and we really want to give people a taste of what a career in rail freight can offer, whether you’re still at school and deciding what path to take or you’ve just left full time education, there really is something for everyone.”
