Loughborough University Industry Project 👨🎓 Over the last few months, our UX Team have been working with 10 UX Masters students from Loughborough University on a Trainline driven industry project. 🚀 The students took on 2 briefs based around improving our customers' experiences and had 6 weeks to complete their projects. Not only did this give the students real-world, hands-on experience, but also meant fresh and innovative ideas for us too! 🙌 During our Tech Summit, the students also visited our London office for a fun-filled day where they sat in on talks, had lunch with the wider Product team and chatted to the experts about industry insights, life at Trainline and loads more - check out some highlights from the day below! ⬇🤩 Massive kudos to everyone involved in this project, we absolutely loved learning from and empowering the future talent of our industry! 💪

Great Journeys start with Trainline🚆🤩 We've spent the last year developing our Employer Brand by listening to Trainliners to understand what they love most about working at Trainline. They told us that we're: 🚀 Empowered by growth 💥 Driven by impact 🌱 Inspired by purpose 🤩 Energised by people These are the 4 pillars that underpin our new culture tagline: Great Journeys start with Trainline (which you'll also see showing up in our consumer branding too 😉). These pillars reflect what's so special about our culture and are closely aligned to our Trainline values: Think Big, Own It, Do Good, Travel Together. Whether you're thinking about starting your Trainline journey, recently jumped aboard, or have been on the journey with us for the last 20 years, this Employer Brand is for everyone. It's our promise to our people, current and future. And who better to bring this to life than the people who know us best, our Trainliners - click the link to check out what they said ❤️
