#22 – Conversation with Roy Unny

Doc Frank chats with Roy Unny from Melbourne in Australia. Roy is the National Executive Chair of the Railway Technical Society of Australasia (RTSA) and while this role and the organisation of the upcoming Conference of Railway Excellence (CORE) in Melbourne was a central piece of our conversation we also covered several other topics. One thing this talk definitely shows is that it is never too late to join and thrive in the railway industry. Enjoy!Show notes:1)      Now that the iconic CBTC Kickstarter training, the longest-running CBTC training in the world, is available in an online version people from all over the world can improve their understanding of the most sophisticated technology for signalling and train control, regardless of time zone or preferred learning rhythm. This training is specifically targeted at railway professionals with little or no prior signalling knowledge whose jobs are now impacted by the introduction of CBTC for improving capacity and performance of the railway.<br/> Information and sign-up for this CBTC Kickstarter Online training is available on https://docfranktraining.podia.com/cbtckickstarter-online2023. 2)      The CBTC World Summit 2023 is the first truly global CBTC conference that does not require travel around the world to attend. Three sessions from different global regions with 18 international speakers of the highest calibre will make it an unmissable event, and all presentations are available as recordings to allow watching them all regardless of the time zone you are in.
