Engineer Alex visited Guides to talk about careers in the Rail industry. Guides & leaders got to try on PPE and learn about different track materials.

They also had a go at designing a railway line. There were some interesting design questions such as could they use a portal to get from one side of the hill to the other and could a business like Greggs sponsor the railway to bring down costs!
