CrossCountry
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
CrossCountry is a long-distance passenger train operator, with a network stretching from Aberdeen to Penzance and from Stansted to Cardiff and calling at over 100 stations. Based in Birmingham, CrossCountry connects seven of Britain’s 10 largest cities and delivers 240 services every weekday, equating to over 42 million passenger journeys each year.
At CrossCountry, we’re fully committed to creating environments inclusive of our colleagues’ different experiences and perspectives on the world. We are committed to this because we know that the more diverse and inclusive we are as an employer, the better we can serve the customers that use our trains. The Big Rail Diversity Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to put that theory into practice – bringing together teams from across our international regions to connect with colleagues from across the industry. This is a fantastic opportunity to show that colleagues of different genders, ages, ethnicities, abilities, and backgrounds can connect and deliver for a shared purpose – because it is our shared differences that make us stronger.
CrossCountry colleagues are excited to be taking part in this year’s Big Rail Diversity Challenge and further supporting the work of Women in Rail as well as broader inclusion and diversity more generally.
