Future of Rail: Devolution
As Mayoral Combined Authorities become well established clients for rail investments, this event will bring together representatives from the public and private sector to discuss what the devolution model looks like, under Great British Railways, and the latest best practice on how clients and suppliers are working together to deliver schemes that support jobs, housing and growth.
