10th November 2026 6:30 pm
This is a joint event with IMechE
From modernising behind the scenes in depots across the country to make our Victorian infrastructure ready for modern rolling stock, to upgrading the legacy fleet to improve reliability and passenger comfort. ScotRail’s engineering team recognise the scale of the challenge and opportunity facing us over the next decade as new trains are brought into service to replace legacy fleet.
How can engineering help to improve the experience for passengers? What are the future aspirations for the service and what part will engineering play?
