We were pleased to welcome students from Repton Prep recently as part of a visit to ALSTOM's Litchurch Lane works in Derby. They had a tour of 507001, allowing them to compare its historic engineering approach with the modern trains elsewhere on site. We hope you enjoyed it, and that you have been inspired to consider a career on the railway!

Some great work on 315856 by our friends at the ACMU Society 👏
