Routes into Rail’s aim is to promote the wide range of career opportunities and paths in the rail industry. The brand was created to better connect with an audience of school leavers, University students and career-switchers to become more aware of the rail industry as a chosen sector to work in. The website promotes the wide spectrum of jobs within the industry ranging from train driving and maintenance roles, through to engineering, architecture, and communications roles. Routes into Rail is funded by industry and powered by the National Skills Academy for Rail (NSAR).
