Greater Anglia - Challenge Sponsor
The Big Rail Diversity Challenge
Greater Anglia runs more than 1,200 trains a day between London Liverpool Street and destinations across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
With over 3,000 employees in a wide variety of roles across stations, trains, and Headquarters, we have been the top performing train company in the country for punctuality since 2023.
"At Greater Anglia, not only do we run 1,200 trains a day and do so at consistently high punctuality levels, but we also have four thriving network groups at Greater Anglia comprising of Ability (focusing on disability and carers), Affinity (LGBT+ focused), Culture (race, ethnicity and religion-focused) and women’s group, UP.
We serve diverse areas, from rural Suffolk and Norfolk towns to busy inner suburban London areas and with our network terminating at London Liverpool Street, the country’s busiest station. Diversity is at the heart of what we do as a train company be it where we serve, or the people we employ or transport.
We hold International Women’s Day events with talks from female rail industry leaders to discuss careers, professional development and generally making the railway – traditionally male-dominated more of an inclusive industry, while championing their work in blogs, articles and videos across our social media channels.
We’re always thinking of ways to do things better, and this year, securing a place at The Rail Diversity Challenge, is a shining example of that.
We will have nine spectators and a mixed gender team of 10 colleagues who are up for taking part in the various challenges that are set, along with our colleagues having a great chance to network and build relationships across the wider industry – and we can’t wait to get started, have a bit of fun and hopefully win!"
