Britain is running 10% fewer trains today than pre-COVID, yet ridership is up by 110%. This means more overcrowding (already bad in 2019) and less choice for passengers. The good thing? We can actually fix this quite quickly.

I still can’t quite believe I was named winner of the Outstanding Personal Contribution (Frontline) Award at the National Rail Awards this week. To say I’m bowled over would be an understatement.
