@MrJasonPrince @LouHaigh I agree Jason. She was listening to some critical arguments we put forward in our Urban Transport Review that she personally endorsed. I admire her for taking a tough decision and like you I wish her well.

Sad to hear the news that @LouHaigh has resigned. There was a real intention to move fast to fix things. I wish her the best for the future.

@henrimurison @BBCLeeds @therimaahmed @LouHaigh @Juergen_Maier @UTG_UK @Arup @AndyBurnhamGM @JayMitchinson @SHinchcliffe @JamesLewisLab @_AGTransport @spencerstokestv @RobParsonsNorth Very comprehensive and articulate interview. I really hope that our review is accepted in its entirety. We have yet to get a response from Louise Haigh about a follow on meeting with the Expert Group.

This morning I’ll be @BBCLeeds after 7am with @therimaahmed ahead of speech by @LouHaigh in #Leeds Listen here bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/li… She is expected to accept calls made Rail & Urban Transport Review led by @Juergen_Maier for national integrated transport strategy

@jimalkhalili @RAEngNews On #NationalEngineeringDay I’m recognising Dr Susan Scurlock MBE for being an inspirational engineer and engineering role model. Her work with the engineering community to inspire young children to consider engineering as a career through Primary Engineer is awesome!

Today is #NationalEngineeringDay in the UK and the Royal Academy of Engineering @RAEngNews has a campaign focusing on #EngineeringRoleModels. So as an honorary Fellow of the Academy, here is a short video post saying who inspires me.

@andy4wm @AndyBurnhamGM Hi Andy. Totally agree, the HS2 cancellation was a crazy ill thought through political decision which will have serious consequences for the UK. Delighted that you, David and Andy have published your review. I hope someone is listening.

Pleased the rail connectivity work @AndyBurnhamGM & I commissioned has come to fruition. The decision over HS2 north was always wrong, & so I hope this case for a new rail line will be brought to life. The private sector will be key - as they’re already proving with this work.

@Juergen_Maier @energygovuk Many congratulations Juergen. A great appointment for you and the UK. If I can help in any way then happy to support this really exciting opportunity.

@DakshGuptaCEO @StNicsHarpenden Congratulations Daksh and Kenzie - and of course Myles and Elicia. You are right to be very proud.

Sooooooooo proud of Myles and Elicia today. Their school @StNicsHarpenden gives 2 Governors Awards to each class, 10 in the whole school. Both of them picked up an award 🥇 🥇 ⭐️ ⭐️ #ProudDad

Every business leader I speak with is super positive & optimistic about @Keir_Starmer who in two weeks has re-established the @10DowningStreet role as serious, statesman like, diplomatic & leader of UK for nation and all its citizens - refreshing/ energising

@LordPeterHendy Good luck Peter.

Today we’ve taken the first step to bring our railways back under public ownership and deliver more reliable services for passengers. Great British Railways will manage the network and public services under one body, creating a unified, simplified rail system.

@Juergen_Maier Agreed Juergen - what we need is a sensible, talented business man to lead on GB Energy and make it happen! Scotland is a great call!

Congratulations Peter! I hope that this still allows you to keep driving your bus and support your charities.

@drechsler_paul @dsmitheconomics A good article Paul - clear thinking and very practical. Let's hope that normality AND stability can produce the right results for the UK.

On form today; optimism = ingredient for success ⁦@dsmitheconomics⁩ ‘If the new government, and the new chancellor, could make the UK more normal, and less of an outlier, maybe the economic challenges will not be quite as insurmountable as they seem’ thetimes.com/article/c21689…

@Juergen_Maier @UKLabour I am delighted to read that this will be a top priority for a Labour Government if they are elected. This approach is long overdue and it has been a privilege to be a part of the team that has produced this important report.

Completely agree Juergen. With authority comes responsibility. The people who had the authority are not accepting the responsibility for this disaster.

@henrimurison @NP_Partnership @George_Osborne @edballs @AndyBurnhamGM @HitachiRailENG Busy time Henri. A full on day!! Good luck.

Looking forward to speaking at this tonight, following hearing @NP_Partnership President @George_Osborne & @edballs followed by @AndyBurnhamGM this morning in #Manchester Then tomorrow travelling back down to @HitachiRailENG in #NewtonAycliffe then on to #UKREiiF in #Leeds
