About Us

Welcome to a new season of South East Centre events

The Railway Division South Eastern Centre is one of the institutions largest centres with over 1000 members from across London and the home counties.  With a wide range of events throughout the year including monthly meetings with presentations from leading engineers in the industry on the most relevant topics to you, we look forward to your active participation during the 09/10 season.

This year we have introduced ambitious changes to the programme, reflecting the results of the survey many of you completed.  In particular we are holding events at a variety of different venues to reflect the subject matter, or simply to provide improved facilities and comfort.  We have moved the start time back half an hour – an increasing number of those working found it hard to leave work on time for a 17:00 start.  Our use of Imperial College will hopefully extend the attendance to engineering and indeed other students.

On the programme we have as a wide variety of topics which we hope will appeal to all.  The programme includes infrastructure, maintenance, passenger and freight stock and the young members evening.  On the 19th October the RD Chairman, Professor Roger Goodall, will attend.  This event will also be our discussion evening.

I hope the changes prove successful and look forward to seeing you all in the near future.

Tim Poole

Chairman, South East Centre
