Rail needs to do more as an industry to share great examples of diverse role models for senior jobs, according to Tim Shoveller, Network Rail Managing Director, North West and Central Region. Addressing RAIL'S National Rail Recovery Conference, he said: "Where are the role models for successful black women in the rail industry? Where is the managing director of a train company [from a diverse background]? "We need to make sure that we are inclusive in attracting people and clearly we haven't been sufficiently inclusive in the past." Shoveller said some of this was down to the industry tolerating conditions that are not fit for modern standards of working.
