Young people are the passengers of the future, and their views and ideas are important to the development of the railway. Current primary school students will be leaving school in years to come and entering the world of work when the first trains will begin to run.
The newsletter comes out twice a year and includes news features, regular games and competitions, reports of activities carried out by students and valuable careers information. 300,000 copies are regularly printed and sent to more than 750 schools across London.
