DRS open day to become biennial event

Direct Rail Services (DRS) is to change its open day to a biennial event, taking place every two years.

Nuclear Transport Solutions’ rail division has taken the decision to allow more planning time between events.

The next open day is scheduled to take place in 2024 at the firm’s Kingmoor depot, Carlisle.

Julie Nerney, NTS Interim Managing Director for Rail said: “The open day of 2022 was a huge success, with around 3,500 attending and raising over £39,000 for our sponsorship and donations fund.

“We want to ensure that our next event is even better and to offer the best experience for our guests, that planning takes time, and a switch to a biennial schedule allows us to do that.

“I want to thank everyone for their continued support and look forward to welcoming them to our next event.”
