Register here

Welcome to the Alstom Raildagen!

After last year's success, Alstom will again open its doors on September 20 & 21 2024 from 10:00 – 16:00, to the general public, customers, suppliers, press, employees, family, and students to explore the world of the rail industry - this time at our location in Utrecht. Nothing is more important than safety! That is why this year's theme is: Railway Signalling.

Step aboard for a journey through the past, present, and future surrounding all technologies that ensure safe railways.

To give you a preview, we have listed a few highlights of the event:

  • On Friday, September 20, 2024, there will be an official opening of the new test lab at 11:00! The lab consists of multiple test setups, enabling us to simulate various routes in the Netherlands, such as the Betuweroute, Hanzelijn, and Amsterdam-Utrecht line.
  • Meet our experts as they present their processes and work interactively. Want more information? Check the programme below. 
  • Experience a railway signalling simulator.
  • Fun activities for children, including a scavenger hunt and a balloon artist.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Raildagen!
