    From concept to conversion: How our freight research drives safety and growth

    If you’ve spent any amount of time in the rail industry, you’ll know it’s passenger services that most often grab the headlines. Meanwhile, rail freight takes the role of the ‘unsung hero’, quietly moving billions of pounds worth of goods across the country, contributing significantly to our economy and helping to ease congestion on our roads.   But for all its importance, the rail freight sector faces a unique set of challenges—challenges that need to balance the imperative of safe operation with ambitious targets for growth.   To better understand the barriers to freight safety and growth in the UK, dedicated research is absolutely key.   Joining us for this episode is Luisa Moisio, our Director of Research at RSSB. We explore what’s behind the drive to improve freight safety and growth, how our research can help, and some of the ways our findings are already helping our members move more.
