Top Names in Rail to Receive CBE’s

Two top civil engineers and rail industry chiefs have been recognised in the New Years honours list. The new boss of Crossrail, Terry Morgan will receive a CBE for his contributions to public services whilst in his position with the rail firm Tube Lines. Morgan will be taking on the challenging role as Chairman for Crossrail in the summer of 2009 and will head the impressive £16 billion project to deliver the eagerly awaited London city link.

Also inline for a CBE is Rob Holden the man who is credited with delivering the Euro Tunnel and other prestigious rail achievements such as the St Pancreas station restoration project.

Holden is also hotly tipped to be next CEO for Crossrail which would bring the two men together on the same incredible rail project. Britain is currently undergoing a rail revolution with new rail projects such as the ambitious Crossrail scheme running alongside numerous regeneration projects across the length and breadth of the country.
