From TransportXtra:

Quote
James Burt has been appointed as Southern's new role of service delivery director, a role which he will join in September from First Great Western, where he is currently the customer service director.

^This is a great time to be joining the successful team at Southern, with a new franchise and in a newly created role," said Burt.
Logged
William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament, or Mile Post (a method of measuring the railway in miles and chains from a starting point - usually London), depending on context) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: Stop, Look, Listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.

Wow.....wonder what prompted that move? He's only been at FGW▸ (First Great Western) for 18 months. Bailing out before having to deal in depth with the coming fall-out from the Sept. fares rises perhaps? I had some personal correspondence with James Burt, who called me personally after a particularly disagreeable experience on a Pullman service. He seemed like he genuinely cared about Customer Service. Following so soon after Anrew Haines departure I worry about the future.
To lose one quality director is unfortune, two is careless.....

Mike Holmes, formerly Station Manager at Temple Meads and more recently Station Manager at Paddington, is, according to things I've heard from FGW▸ (First Great Western) staff, back in the west.

Anyone out there know what his new role is?

Yep he has left PAD» (Paddington (London) - next trains) and we now have the station manager from RDG▸ (Rail Delivery Group, or Reading station, depending on context) (shaun Mcsomthing) as regional manager - east.
Ive also heard hes been sent back to Temple Meads.
