Depot Training Span
It is great to see our apprentices in the new training facility at Alpha Rails Copsey Pl Depot. The grand opening of the depot marks the start of a new and exciting chapter providing a valuable training space for our apprentice line mechanics and electricians..
Alpha Rail currently has 3 apprentice Line Mechanics/Electricians eager to learn from knowledgeable mentors.
