The potential of a new Learning Management System to drive up competency standards in light rail is put under the spotlight in a new podcast from the LRSSB.

The second episode of ‘Let’s Talk Light Rail’ features the organisation’s Head of Engineering Safety and Innovation, Craig O’Brien, who offers an insight into the many benefits of a structured approach to training and development.

 

He’s joined by Marlene Pearson-McGrath, who has led the development of a pioneering LMS for Edinburgh’s award-winning tramway, for a discussion on how a similar system can be used as an example for other networks to copy.

 

In conversation with Carly Swift, LRSSB Marketing and Digital Media Manager, they discuss plans by the organisation to develop a national system embracing the best practice established at Edinburgh Trams, where Marlene is the Training Manager.

 

Covering a range of related topics, including the standardisation of job roles and consistency in recruitment and training, the podcast was filmed onboard a tram in Edinburgh and you can listen or watch the full podcast via multiple platforms:
