CILT's latest professional Forum (RSF) has been created following a merger with the Railway Study Association (RSA).

The new Forum offers RSF members all the benefits offered previously by the RSA, but also the opportunity to engage with CILT members through our network of like-minded Rail Sector professionals. You can find out more about joining CILT here. 

Who are we?

Our membership includes individuals with a wide range of backgrounds and expertise, embracing operations, engineering, business planning, project management, marketing and consultancy. Now that we have merged with CILT's membership, we are able to engage with a wider network of people working in the Rail Sector.

Aims

The CILT RS Forum promotes the exchange of experience, knowledge and opinion on issues relating to all aspects of the railway industry.

How do we do this?

• We arrange a variety of meetings, ranging from formal lectures followed by a question and answer session to seminars, to stimulate member engagement. 
• We organise visits and study tours to railway sites and installations both in the UK and abroad to promote understanding.
• We encourage personal and professional development through informal networking.

The Railway Study Forum is pleased to announce that the dates for the Study Visit to Australia in 2019 are Monday 14 October - Friday 25 October inclusive, commencing in Sydney and concluding in Melbourne.  An excellent programme is being arranged with a lot of variety in rail and transport generally and with special events.  Further details will be available in November 2018.
