Thanks for the feedback. There are a lot of opportunities in the organisation and we encourage training and/or sideways movements in the organisation to support you in the next step as you've acknowledged in your comment. I encourage you to please reach out to your manager to ask what you can do to work towards a promotion and/or for coaching and guidance on finding new opportunities to grow within the company. If you feel more comfortable, you can also reach out to your HRBP who will walk you through the core competencies required and help advise you on career progression at Network Rail.
