York, home to more than 100 rail-related organisations and over 5,000 skilled professionals. This concentration of expertise brings together industry, academia and government, creating an environment where collaboration and innovation thrive. The City and partners are developing the York Rail Innovation Hub at York Central – a nationally significant centre for operational rail innovation. The ambition is to establish York as the UK’s leading rail testbed city, where new technologies can be developed, tested and demonstrated in real-world railway environments.

Supporting this vision is the York Rail Innovation Community (YoRIC), a network connecting rail operators, manufacturers, SMEs, researchers and technology businesses to accelerate innovation and collaboration. Combined with exceptional connectivity, world-class universities, the transformational opportunity of York Central, York offers an outstanding location for businesses to invest, innovate and grow. Our vision is to make York the place where operational rail innovation is applied, proven and exported to railways worldwide.
