Jack Rhodes – an apprentice shaping the next chapter in rail’s revolutionary story

Jack Rhodes was shortlisted for Railway Apprentice of the Year at the end of his 3 year apprenticeship with Alstom, where he is now just starting his engineering career in the rail industry.

Following that, Jack was chosen to help seal the official Railway 200 time capsule into the Roundhouse at Derby.

The time capsule is packed with anniversary artefacts. It marks this year’s bicentenary and heralds a simpler, better and greener railway, driven by the next generation of pioneering talent.  The capsule will remain unopened for 50 years until the railway’s 250th anniversary in 2075.
