Movement Matters | The future railway organisation

Movement Matters | The future railway organisation
29 March, 2017, 6.00pm-9.00pm
County Hall (etc. venues), Riverside Building, Belvedere Rd, SE1 7PB, London.

There are multiple challenges to be addressed in Britain’s railways – arguably the most radical changes lie ahead since the demise of steam and the reconstruction of the railway after the Second World War.

As Britain’s railways see the emergence of new digital technologies, the dawn of HS2 and continuing growth in demand what will the implications be for rail infrastructure management and train services delivery?

Our specially-selected panel will offer insights from outside the UK, from airport-airline relationships, and from establishing a new organisation to manage a brand new railway such as the Elizabeth Line. Join us to discuss how Britain’s railway needs to adapt to deliver for the future.

Speakers

Stephen Gardner, Planning, Technology & Public Affairs Executive VP, Amtrak

Andrew Haines, CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)

Howard Smith, Crossrail Operations Director, Transport for London (TfL)

About Movement Matters

Movement Matters is a series of inspirational seminars, debates and workshops, presented by Steer Davies Gleave exploring how transport shapes and influences places, people and economies.

Drawing on experience from international leaders in transport, government and related-industries, we share insights, and debate opportunities and challenges. Our series of events spans the UK and America, with sessions planned in London, Leeds and Manchester, and in the USA in Los Angeles, Boston and New York.

The UK sessions feature a range of thought-provoking and stimulating topics including the relationship of technology and transport, the challenges of increasing urbanization and the demographic timebomb and its effects to our cities.

Steer Davies Gleave’s Movement Matters series provide a burst of fresh thinking without keeping you out of the office for too long.
