Railway Engineers Forum

Founded in 2013, the Railway Engineers Forum (REF) is a multi-disciplinary body drawn from a wide range of professional institutions with strong railway interests:

  • Chartered Institution of Logistics and Transport (CILT)
  • Chartered Institution of Railway Operators (CIRO)
  • Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
  • Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET)
  • Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
  • Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE)
  • Permanent Way Institution (PWI)
  • Railway Civil Engineers Association (RCEA)
  • Young Railway Professionals (YRP)

The REF intends to work for those who have an interest in promoting engineering best practices, including the harmonisation of the institutions’ activities, organisation of new events and development of new training opportunities.

As CIRO strives to lead, inspire and accelerate the growth of rail professionals, we are pleased to support the REF and its specialisation of supporting railway engineering professionals.
