Ex-Armed Forces

Rail is a great place for members of the Armed Forces community to work with lots of opportunities, progression and benefits.

NSAR, the driving force behind Routes into Rail, and several rail employers have signed the Armed Forces Covenant to pledge support to the Armed Forces community and ensure that service leavers, Reservists, volunteers, spouses and partners receive equal employment opportunities and appropriate support.
