March 2021

Next time, we map out rail projects set for completion in 2021 and assess their status. Will new practical and financial struggles emerge as a result of the continuing Covid-19 crisis?

We find out more about the Hop On For Our Planet campaign, which is aiming to recruit more Gen Z applicants for the rail sector by showing off its sustainability credentials. We also evaluate the historically ambitious environmental targets of UK rail infrastructure owner Network Rail.

Continuing to explore the world of rail tech, we present a timeline of Hyperloop technology and try to predict where it will go in the coming years, and find out about an innovative European Space Agency project to build a hospital train made with space technology.

Finally, we speak to the COO of Govia Thameslink Railway about how it has responded to the pandemic, and explore why the Portuguese Government has committed to the revival of a high-speed rail link between Lisbon and Porto.
