Title: Gordon Pettitt 12/04/34 - 31/03/25 Post by: Mark A on April 03, 2025, 21:27:21 I loved his vision for Regional Railways. The rail system is the poorer for it (and him) being no longer with us. Thoughts with his family.

(If no second hand copy, public libraries will help you lay hands on one). It's a loss to the travelling public that privatisation put his arc of progress on inter-regional services into reverse.
