Fantastic appointment.
Some personal news… I’m delighted to be taking on the role of Integrated Chief Customer and Commercial Officer, helping to put customers at the heart of Britain’s railway as we move towards Great British Railways. I’m really looking forward to working with colleagues across the industry on what comes next.
A huge thank you to my amazing team at @LNER. It’s been an absolute privilege to lead you for over a decade and I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved together.

🌬️ #StormAusten is coming!
Live near the railway? Make sure you tie down objects like trampolines and garden furniture.
These can easily blow onto the tracks and block train services. ❌

We're delighted to have you as part of the team David, helping to shape Great British Railways.
A railway that enables great people to put the customer at the heart of its business is something you have delivered at @LNER, and can do so once again for everyone in Britain.

⛈️ #StormAusten arrives this week, so we're working hard to prevent weather-related delays.
🚆 40-60% more rain is forecast than normal this year, so floods + fallen trees are likely to disrupt trains.
🦺 Check travel at @nationalrailenq in bad weather.

What’s the alternative to closing a busy railway for 60 weekends for essential work?
Doing as much vital maintenance as possible in just three weeks.

Arriving into St Pancras does make you a bit proud.
Eurostar train to the underground in about 5 minutes and unlike arriving into many airports the elegant building, bustle of the station and attractive public realm must give a great first impression of Britain.

Bradford is getting a brand-new station 🚆
Today the Government has confirmed a new station at Bradford Interchange, putting our city at the heart of Northern Powerhouse Rail.
That means more trains, quicker journeys across the North, and up to £1 billion boost for our economy.
A city this ambitious deserves a station to match. Now we’re getting one.
