The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what her Department's planned timetable is for appointing the CEO of Shadow Great British Railways.

Answered by Mike Kane

Laura Shoaf has been appointed as Chair of Shadow Great British Railways. In this role she convenes the leaders of Network Rail, DfT’s Operator of Last Resort and DfT’s Rail Services Group who maintain their existing accountabilities.

As Shadow Great British Railways is not an organisation in its own right, there are no plans to appoint a CEO.
