The Railway Study Association’s three-day study tour to Austria was organised in conjunction with Young Rail Professionals (YRP), taking place at the end of March. This enabled rail graduates and up-and-coming managers to share best practice with senior rail managers and top directors from both the UK and Austria. The wide mix of participants was entirely in keeping with RSA’s membership profile, embracing specialisms and levels from right across the rail industry.
