Learning and development
For the learners and the leaders
We believe that lifelong learning and development is for everyone.
We invest in ongoing, tailored learning and support for all our colleagues, at every stage of their career. It’s not just about the practical skills and knowledge—it’s also about confidence and pride in what we do. Together, we build and support well-rounded and capable individuals, who make the successful teams who keep our region moving and our organisation future-ready.
From classroom to cab
Our Learning Centre
Our state-of-the-art Learning Centre in South Shields helps us put continuous learning at the core of everything we do. It supports our on-the-job training and leadership development, with facilities to help develop technical and non-technical skills and competencies. These include a train track, mock station and Metro driver training simulator as well as classrooms and a conference room for 50 people.
