The opinions and views expressed in the magazine are not necessarily those of the management or the publishers.
Collaboration is an important theme in this edition. We have a special section on Collaborative Working from page 28 to 35, but it’s an issue you’ll find cropping up in many of our articles, from our interview with Crossrail chief executive Andrew Wolstenholme to a piece by London Overground Rail Operations Ltd boss Peter Austin on how MTR, Deutsche Bahn and Transport for London all work together to deliver the booming service.

Brought to you by Britain’s Rail Industry Media Leader It’s been a busy few weeks for
Collaboration and co-operation W
elcome to one of RTM’s biggest-ever editions, packed with interviews, features, news and analysis.
CP5 is upon us, after so many long months of planning; Crossrail has hit the halfway stage; HS2 has passed another legislative hurdle; and Transport for London is buying new fleets and upgrading more stations.
As RTM was going to press, bank holiday engineering works at Watford were over-running, proving that even in this brave new world, some old problems remain. Hopefully late hand backs will be less common in CP5 than they were in CP3 and CP4 – new alliances, partnerships and contractual models are certainly meant to help prevent them.
events, and we’ve got coverage of loads of them: iRail 2014, the Derby & Derbyshire Rail Forum annual conference, Sir David Higgins’ HS2 Plus report launch, Richard Parry-Jones’s keynote speech at the Derby Roundhouse, the Parsons Brinckerhoff/IET high-speed rail seminar in Manchester, and more. You can find out about upcoming events in our listings at the back of the magazine, on page 199.
One event you won’t want to miss is RTM’s own High Speed 2 The Northern Hub Dinner, a black tie affair on 6 November at The Palace Hotel in Manchester. Dyan Crowther, route managing
director for London North Western at Network Rail, has just been confirmed as keynote speaker for the event.
Finally,
Infrarail is not far away. The RTM and RTMjobs team will be there as always, handing out complimentary copies of the magazine, catching up with readers and advertisers and seeing what exhibitors are showcasing this year. You can get a sneak peak in our Infrarail preview, which starts on page 77. We hope to see you there!
