It is an exciting time to work for the organisation, the rail and road network will be the cornerstone of how we transform the north; The year ahead poses many challenges for the sector and the regions, from the government’s draft Rail Reform Bill to the general election, and this role is about how we reach the ambition of a transport network the north’s 15 million people deserve and make lasting transformative change for generations to come.
