About the George Bradshaw Address

The George Bradshaw Address has been a mainstay of the rail industry calendar since the inaugural address from the then Network Rail Chair, Rick Haythornwaite in 2011. Since then, it has brought together senior industry leaders to discuss the future of the industry and the challenges it faces and how, together, the industry can sustain and grow the rail network.

This year's event was a special reception to thank Rail Partners members and supporters, ahead of the organisation's closure in March 2025. For information on previous George Bradshaw events click here.
