Louise Cheeseman – Changing careers, changing lives

Louise was a single mum trying to work out how to put her girls through higher education when she applied to join the railway as a guard. She landed in a very male dominated world and faced prejudices form the outset.

Despite this, her career blossomed, and she started to drive for change for women in rail, changing places, polices and people along the way. Her career in rail has taken her from Hull around the world and supported her daughters through University into careers they have otherwise not had. Louise is determined to keep paving the paving the way for more women in rail.
