About us

Since its launch in 2016, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge has truly captured the hearts and minds of the industry – which demonstrates the passion, support and enthusiasm for the brilliant work that Women in Rail undertakes. Growing by a staggering 80% over 5 years, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge has become a staple in the industry’s event calendar, with many key industry stakeholders supporting year on year. Women in Rail and Nimble Media Ltd have developed this fun, yet serious, flagship event to allow participants from across all levels to team-build within their own organisation, as well as network with other companies and fundraise to continue the WR charity’s vital work across the UK rail industry. Back for its seventh year, The Big Rail Diversity Challenge allows companies from across rail to demonstrate their commitment to diversity within the industry, and the business benefits attained by establishing a gender diverse workforce.

  • We are pleased to announce that the British Transport Police are a supporting organisation for the Big Rail Diversity Challenge 2025. "British Transport Police has been supporting The Big Rail Diversity Challenge since 2018, as we believe in Women in Rail's assertion that diverse gender teams are "Better for People", Better for Business", and "Better for Rail". While BRDC is a fun event and we see each year how teams across the rail and associated industries enjoy the vast array of challenges they face, it has a serious message - that the rail industry should be accessible to all and that underrepresented groups can be huge assets to all teams." "BTP is proud to work with Women in Rail supporting the BRDC and we look forward to setting a new challenge!" Their commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion aligns perfectly with Women in Rail's mission. We are excited to work together to create a more gender-diverse rail industry.
