BCRRE at InnoTrans 2018

Join us in Hall 7.1c, stand 305, to hear updates from BCRRE academics, staff and collaborators. We will be giving short presentations on recent and current projects, research themes, collaborations and the Digi-Rail demonstrator project for SMEs in eligible areas of the UK. You will also have the opportunity to find out about UKRRIN and how your company can benefit from this major investment in UK-based rail research.
