TWO apprentices have started working at a railway depot as part of the Network Rail apprenticeship scheme.

After completing the first year of the course they now work in a depot in Orpington.

Here they will learn the skills needed to become maintenance engineering technicians.

Network Rail maintenance director Steve Feathersone said: “Britain relies on rail so it is vital to invest in our people and our future with apprenticeships.”
