Along with my team I’m committed to delivering continuous improvements for customers and to helping CrossCountry attract new passengers to the railway across our three nations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to keep working with the team to build a more customer-focused and commercially sustainable future.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nick Westcott is currently train service delivery director for the Elizabeth line. His career in railway operations has spanned driver management, control, performance, train crew resourcing, and train planning at a variety of train operators.<\/p>\n

Known for his collaborative leadership style and data-driven approach, Nick has successfully led large teams through complex industry challenges.<\/p>\n

Nick said: \u201cI\u2019m really pleased to be joining CrossCountry to help shape the future of service delivery across such a unique and wide-reaching network.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to getting out and meeting teams across the business to ensure we\u2019re delivering the best possible service for our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shiona Rolfe, CrossCountry\u2019s managing director, said: \u201cI\u2019m delighted to welcome Mark permanently to the Executive team and to confirm Nick\u2019s appointment from October. Both bring a wealth of experience and a strong customer and operational focus that will be vital as we continue to improve our service.<\/p>\n
