ONLINE WORKSHOP - ROLLING STOCK
In this virtual session, The Hub Transport Advisory will deliver a presentation covering how the transition to Great British Railways (GBR) creates an opportunity to strengthen the relationship between GBR and rolling stock leasing companies.
It will explore the continuing role of private leasing companies in the GBR directed railway and what conditions must be met to strengthen their partnership with the public sector.
The Hub will focus on three conditions which will underpin a successful partnership: standardisation, committed programme, and balanced risk allocation. They will then explore what these conditions mean in practice, the opportunities they represent, the benefits they can unlock, and the risks of getting the relationship wrong.
About RIA Member Interest Groups
Member Interest Groups (MIGs) are specialist events run by RIA) to support our members' diverse interests across the rail sector.
Focusing on key areas such as rolling stock, signalling, electrification, environment and sustainability, data and AI, and much more, MIGs provide a platform for learning, discussion, and knowledge-sharing. These half-day, members-only events are hosted across the UK within RIA’s Nations & Regions network, giving members the opportunity to connect on topics essential to their business.
Each MIG features expert speakers from leading organisations, including Network Rail Routes & Regions, Train Operating Companies, Devolved Authorities, Local Transport Bodies, and Major Rail Projects, as well as from the supply chain—from Tier 1 suppliers to SMEs.
Members may also host these events, showcasing their facilities and capabilities to the RIA community.
MIGs address crucial topics, including regulatory updates, standards, new practices, and innovative technologies that impact our members’ operations. However, the primary purpose of MIGs is networking: they are an invaluable chance for members to build connections, share insights, and strengthen collaborations within the rail industry.
