Title: Power car named after Mark Carne - 12 Jul 18 Post by: bobm on July 13, 2018, 07:37:21 Outgoing Network Rail Chief Executive Mark Carne had a power car named after him in a short ceremony at London Paddington yesterday evening.
Power car 43013 now carries his name. It forms part of Network Rail's New Measurement Train which tours the country checking lines for faults.
