A lot depends on your age - but I would expect you would do something along the lines of a few days in the booking office and general customer service - maybe a visit to/a day in their control centre.

Much of it will be observation based due to the training you need to complete to be able to undertake many roles on the railway. Each TOC has its own policy on Work Experience and on what they allow you to do. Also, as many members will testify, TOC HR is not a quick beast, so you may have to chase up replies.

Hello and welcome to the forum! I would see if your school could try to arrange it. Most schools have an Academic and Careers advisor and I reckon they will have more influence so I would speak to them and see if they can help.
