Last Chance to Own a Piece of CIRO History: Jubilee Commemorative Boxset
Don’ t miss out on the last chance to own a piece of CIRO history.
To mark 25 years of advancing excellence in rail operations, we produced a Limited Edition Jubilee Boxset— and with only 250 copies created, availability is now limited.
At the heart of the set is the newly published 4th Edition Operator’ s Handbook, presented in a bespoke collector’ s case. The boxset also showcases specially commissioned artwork by Staffordshire illustrator Emma Joustra, whose intricate style captures the energy, diversity, and professionalism of CIRO and the wider rail sector.
More than a practical resource, the Jubilee Boxset is a symbol of CIRO’ s progress, partnerships, and the professionals whose dedication underpins safe and efficient rail operations.
Over the past quarter-century, CIRO has grown from a small professional body into a leading voice for rail operations, raising standards and supporting professional development across the network.
This milestone anniversary has been marked with memorable celebrations, including the Jubilee Lunch at the Royal Lancaster Hotel and the naming of a GB Railfreight locomotive in CIRO’ s honour. The Jubilee Boxset stands alongside these initiatives as a tangible legacy of our 25th anniversary.
With remaining sets limited and demand high, this is the final opportunity for individual members to secure their copy. Priced at £ 50 and available on a first-come, first-served basis, the Jubilee Boxset offers both a valuable reference and a collector’ s item to be treasured for years to come. Do not miss this unique chance to preserve a lasting symbol of CIRO’ s legacy.
