Fully booked at Norske Tog’s Train Academy
Educational and interesting lectures, engaged participants and lots of mingle – on Tuesday 6 June, Norske tog invited industry colleagues to a “Train academy” in Norske tog’s premises at Drammensveien 35.
More than 100 participants were registered for the event, including Norske tog employees. Representatives from both train operating companies, suppliers, maintenance companies and partners, as well as the Ministry of Transport and the Norwegian Railway Directorate, were present.
The program was built around Norske tog’s three main tasks – which are to acquire, own and manage trains, well supplemented with some general information about railways and industry trends. The lectures were separated in two parallel sessions, where participants could sign up for the topics, they found most interesting.
