Collaboration and teamwork will be a key component of our success, so we'll need to build on our strong partnerships with train and freight operators, stakeholders and supply chain colleagues. Together, we're more than up to the challenge. I look forward to working with you over the coming years.” – Katie Frost, Route Director
