The Rail Technical Conference (RTC), hosted by ASAVRAIL - 
The key message is this:
“We cannot deliver a safe, reliable, and modern railway without investing in the people who make it happen.”
The Rail Technical Conference (RTC), hosted by ASAVRAIL, designed to address the critical challenges facing the UK rail workforce — particularly in the areas of competency, compliance, and resource management.
Its purpose is to bring together technical leaders, training providers, industry bodies, and frontline professionals to openly discuss how we maintain high technical standards, keep our people safe, and retain the skills needed to deliver future infrastructure.
Through targeted talks and panel discussions, the conference aims to spark action around improving training, supporting workforce wellbeing, and strengthening industry collaboration.
The Rail Technical Conference is aimed at those directly impacted by the current lack of consistent work and workforce uncertainty in the rail sector.
Our delegates include:
• Track and Signalling Installers and Technicians facing fluctuating workloads
• Design Engineers at all levels—from Apprentices and Graduates to Principal Engineers
• Site Safety Staff and Compliance Officers managing increasingly complex safety demands
• Construction and Civils Operatives affected by project delays and underutilisation
• Possession Planners and frontline Supervisors dealing with compressed programmes
• Early-career Rail professionals and Apprentices seeking sustainable career paths
• Contractors, agency workers, and supply chain staff experiencing irregular employment
• Project Professionals such as, Project Managers, Commerical, Procurement, Line Managers, non-technical professionals
• Suppliers and manufacturers
This event is focused on those whose livelihoods and professional development are being challenged by the current market pressures — providing them with insights, support, and a platform to be heard.
Delegates should come away with:
• A clearer understanding of the current pressures facing the rail workforce
• Practical insights into improving competence, wellbeing, and compliance
• Inspiration to take action within their own organisations
• A renewed sense of shared responsibility for industry-wide standards
It’s also about connection and collaboration — creating space for open discussion between those in training, operations, engineering, and leadership roles.
A Certificate of Attendance will be provided (7.5 hours) for your CPD Record
Email rtc@asavrail.com to request your certificates, quoting your ticket reference, name and contact email address.
The RTC is ideal for organisations who:
• Deliver technical training or workforce development services
• Support mental health, wellbeing, or professional development in rail

Children love it, it&#39;s a must for families with kids! I saw British schools also organize students to play there. Overall, it&#39;s more worthwhile than the Whisky Museum and the Peter Rabbit Museum. The first two are actually worth going to the shopping malls to buy something, and the doors of the shopping malls are open to passers-by.

National SEA LIFE Centre Birmingham

Elbik

We made a dedicated trip and had a lovely few hours. There was lots to see with split levels that kept your interest. The penguins were nice, the octopus made an appearance and we would have loved to see more of the otters., we see the otters.. There is plenty to see, read and touch. My grand daughter loved it all, the turtle in the tunnel is beautiful . It was clean, and we had a great time, would definitely go back, staff were helpful,its really nice and deserve to be visited again and again.

For a smaller town the Art Museum as great. We really enjoyed our visit and would recommend it if you are traveling to Birmingham. Make sure to call ahead to see if they are open.

Chinese Quarter

There are Chinese Super League, restaurants, and many other specialty restaurants to choose from.
It&#39;s not hard to find something to eat here.
However, the food at this restaurant was a bit disappointing.

Victoria Square, Birmingham

放飞自我去游玩

After we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, we had a big meal at a Michelin one-star restaurant, and then we began to get to know the city. First we came to Victoria Square, where a building imitating a Greek temple caught our eye. It turned out to be their town hall. Next to it was a beautiful Baroque building, the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which was also free to visit. So we went in for a stroll. There were not many people, and the exhibits were quite rich, ranging from ancient Egypt to current art.
