With Network Rail's test tracks seeing a re-launch and a new strategy, GCRE building momentum and Porterbrook deploying their own testing facility literally around us, it is an exciting time for railway testing facilities in GB. But how will these facilities work alongside each other? What do they collectively offer the global railway market? And what are the opportunities for railway testing in a severely complex and challenging period? Representatives from both GCRE and Porterbrook join Gareth Dennis - this time with his hat as Strategy Lead for NR's test tracks on - to talk through these questions and more.
