University of Worcester - Track record

An unusual honour has been bestowed on an institution to mark the fifth anniversary of it securing university status - a train has been named after it. The University of Worcester will be used on high-speed routes throughout First Great Western's network. Matthew Golton, projects and planning director at the train company, said: "We take our commitment to the region seriously, and we were very keen to honour the university in recognition of its many investments in the region."
