Today marks the official opening a new railway training centre near Calais.
The ‘Centre International de formation ferroviaire de la Côte d’Opale’ is the first centre that a privately owned transport group has opened for all European railway operations, infrastructure managers and subcontractors.
Jacques Gounon, Chairman and Chief Executive of Group Eurotunnel stated:
“The unique CIFFCO structure is equipped with the latest training tools and technology and has been designed to tackle the increasing demands of the railway sector.
“From its base in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais, it brings an additional strength to the region and its centre for railway excellence, in which Eurotunnel has always played a leading role.”
