Rolling stock leasing company, Porterbrook, has announced that it has renewed its partnership with the National Railway Museum for 2022.
The partnership includes both the museum at York and its sister site at Locomotion in Shildon.
The partnership will see Porterbrook support the NRM's displays to highlight how innovations can help to deliver a more sustainable railway.
This partnership is also an important part of Porterbrook's commitment to inspiring young people to bring them into STEM careers.
Mary Grant, CEO of Porterbrook said: “The National Railway Museum plays a hugely important role in curating rail's history and heritage while articulating a vision for its future. I am delighted to continue our partnership with the museum through which we can support their work and highlight how today's innovations are helping deliver a more sustainable railway tomorrow.”
Judith McNicol, Director of the National Railway Museum, said: “We're delighted that Porterbrook will continue to support the work of the National Railway Museum at such an exciting time in our Vision 2025 work. Partnerships such as this allow us to achieve our goal of becoming the World's Railway Museum, and working with rail industry partners is something that we really value and appreciate.”
So the aim of the NRM is to become the World Railway Museum..? With an emphasis on the future,, ?
