PETALING JAYA: The Transport Ministry will begin talks with UK's National Training Academy for Rail (NTAR) to set up the nation's own training centre, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong.

"The ministry will engage with NTAR to build a content structure for standards and tap their expertise and experience in providing rail-based skills training, investigation, safety, and management courses for our own upcoming National Rail Centre of Excellence (NRCOE)," said the Transport Minister.
