Working at EMR

We are proud to be one team at EMR.

It is our vision to drive the East Midlands towards a brighter future, working in partnership to connect cities, support communities and create easier journeys for everyone.

Four times accredited as a Top Employer, our 2,500 colleagues are the reason why EMR is so successful. Passionate about delivering easier journeys for our customers every day, each employee in the business makes a crucial contribution...and it gets better!

Over the coming years we are:

  • Investing £600 million to bring customer improvements to our services, trains and stations.
  • Introducing a new environmentally friendly intercity fleet on our routes to and from London as well as refurbishing to faster and modern regional fleets across the rest of our network.
  • Introducing a new website and mobile app, to improve ticket-buying facilities and encourage the use of Smartcards to streamline travel experience.
  • Investing in our people – who make all of this possible.

It is an exciting time to join the EMR team and be part of putting these improvements into action.
