Bombardier Transportation is celebrating its success at two rail industry awards recently held in London. The first was winning the Rail Engineer of the Future category at the prestigious Rail Business Awards. This award seeks to recognise young rail engineering talent. The winner was Vehicle Design Engineer Ben Parry, who recently completed Bombardier’s Graduate programme. Whilst at Bombardier he has developed a progressive solution for train weight-saving.
Together with project partners Transport for London (TfL) and London Overground Rail Operations (LOROL), Bombardier Transportation was also Highly Commended at the Rail Business Awards in the Rolling Stock Excellence category. Bombardier provided 57 additional Class 378 Bombardier Electrostar vehicles, used by TfL to turn their existing four-car fleet (also supplied by Bombardier) into five-car versions, operating on London Overground Lines.
The second success was at the London Transport Awards where Bombardier won the Transport Supplier of the Year award. The London Transport Awards recognise excellence in transport and reward innovation and progress for transport initiatives in London.
