Direct Rail Services (DRS) announce that their charity open day returns

Direct Rail Services (DRS) is delighted to announce that their charity open day returns later this year.

The open day shows behind the scenes at one of the UK’s leading rail freight operators and is an event for all the family.

Visitors will get to look around the company’s maintenance depot in Crewe, sit in the driver’s seat of a variety of locomotives, ask questions to industry experts and much more.

Tickets cost £6.13 (including booking fee) for adults with under 16s free. The £5 ticket price is used to aid UK charities and other deserving community causes.

The event opens at 10am on Saturday 11 July at the Gresty Bridge Depot in Crewe and closes at 4pm.

DRS is part of Nuclear Transport Solutions (NTS), and Tony Hewitson, Interim Rail Director at NTS, said: “I’m delighted we’re able to host another fantastic open day this year, I am very excited to welcome guests to this wonderful family experience.   

“The money raised from the open day goes to help charities, community projects and good causes across the country and we’re really proud of the support we provide through this fabulous event.”
