Every year, Community Rail Lancashire (CRL), takes a great number of young women and girls out on the rail network to help them explore the rail industry and employment opportunities under their “Women Who Wander” project.

The Women Who Wander began in 2018 and has now expanded into women in STEM in 2020.

Over the past year, we have shot some fantastic events, held by CRL working with schools both in Liverpool and Manchester. They have arranged various trips for young women and girls to transports museums, rail venues and even meeting with women currently working in the rail network.
Women in STEM specifically looks to engage women and girls in experiencing rail use and considering the STEM roles within the industry.

On Monday 9th March, fittingly only a day after the International Women’s day, CRL held the Women in STEM launch event at the Railway Museum in York.

The winning pieces were selected from hundreds of entries, and at the event, the authors and artists were invited to read their pieces to industry professionals and the Lord Mayor of York, Councillor Janet Looker. It was an inspiring event and such a pleasure to be involved with.

Here are some of photographs from this great event:
