An Interview with RSN Organiser, Kevin Lane | Rail Industry Connected

Today, we turn our attention to the rolling stock sector. Over recent years, the UK train operating companies have undergone significant fleet modernisation programmes, and today, the rolling stock industry employs over 30,000 people in the UK, contributing more than £2 billion to the economy.

But with fleet modernisation orders coming to an end, what is next for this sector? I’m joined by Kevin Lane, who is the organiser for Rolling Stock Networking.

This event, which is held in July every year, brings companies working within rolling stock in one place to do business together, and is one of the driving forces in generating new business for rolling stock companies.

We discuss how there is plenty of opportunity for rolling stock companies in the UK, as well as the work winning opportunities found at RSN events.
