As you will already know, RSN 2020, due to take place at Derby Arena on Thursday 3rd September has become another casualty of the Coronavirus pandemic and has been cancelled. The event will return though – RSN 2021 will be held at Derby Arena on 1st July 2021.
AEGIS planned to host the “Railway Approvals Demystified” seminar during this event but as you can’t come to us we will now come to you by hosting this as an online webinar.
The webinar will take place via Zoom on the same day at the same time – Thursday 3rd September 10am – 2pm instead.
Attending the webinar will be of tremendous value to all companies operating in rail and is entirely free of charge.
Entering and operating in the rail market is regulated by a number of railway specific requirements that apply to all projects to ensure that the principal standards are applied to technical change or new projects for both rolling stock and infrastructure. This enables regulation of risk on the railway and the acceptance of all stakeholders.
To companies operating in or entering the rail industry this can appear to be difficult, or perhaps even intimidating. The webinar will be drawing in experts from all of the necessary disciplines who will explain the key requirements, the route to satisfying those requirements and their own approach to providing the services that progress railway approvals to conclusion.
