Advice for Transitioning to Rail Industry Jobs (UK)

Hello everyone! I’m looking to transition my career into the rail industry. My background is in Project Management within technology delivery, and I’ve been an avid rail user throughout my life. I’m eager to hear any advice for making this industry switch. I have transferable skills in areas like planning, risk management, and change management.

I should note that I’m specifically interested in management roles rather than positions such as train driver or track engineer. Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
