London Rail MD to retire
The managing director of London Rail, Ian Brown, has announced that he is to retire.
This means that there is one more top rail job up for grabs.
Commenting on Mr Brown’s retirement plans, Peter Hendy, London’s Transport Commissioner, said: “Ian has had a remarkable and distinguished career and has done an enormous amount to improve London's transport network.
“This work, like the improvements to the DLR and the new East London line, has had an enormously positive effect on the lives of local people, their access to employment, education and leisure opportunities and continues to do so. I would like to thank him for his ceaseless efforts and achievements over the last ten years.
"The dedication that Ian has inspired among his staff and others at TfL will ensure that improvements to the rail network in London will continue into future decades.
"I'm sure that Ian will continue to play an important role in the rail industry for years to come."
