TRAIN company Northern Rail was the winner in four categories at the Rail Business Awards held in London.

The categories were sustainability excellence, diversity and inclusion, security excellence and women in rail.

It was also commended for being a close runner-up in the Rail Business of the Year award, the top award of the night.

Northern’s managing director Alex Hynes said: “These awards are great external recognition that the Northern team are making very good progress, but there is still more to do to deliver our vision of a railway the North can be proud of.”
