Wasting money on a gold-plated railway
Sir Andrew Haines has retired as chief executive of Network Rail after seven years in charge of the national railway infrastructure owner. He has left at a time when Network Rail itself is heading for retirement, as Great British Railways approaches. Andrew Haines has now spoken for the first time about the realities of today’s railway to Railnews reporter Phil Marsh.

The RMT has declared a dispute with Network Rail over pay, and is calling for talks. Network Rail, whose chief executive Andrew Haines retires from the company today, said it is ‘disappointed’.

A new design of station clock which includes the railway’s double arrows and the time in digital format has been unveiled at London Bridge station. The London timepiece by WPP brand design agency Design Bridge and Partners was the winning entry in an international design competition run in a partnership between Network Rail, the Royal Institute of British Architects and the Design Museum.
