This from Network Rail...
Network Rail announces today the secondment of Virgin’s chief operating officer, Chris Gibb, to the company.
Working collaboratively with Network Rail, Virgin Trains has agreed to this secondment for the remainder of this year to work with the Network Rail team on improving the performance of the infrastructure on the southern end of the West Coast Main Line.
Mr Gibb will retain a number of his current duties and responsibilities for Virgin Trains and will continue to undertake these alongside the role in Network Rail and will report to Robin Gisby, Network Rail’s managing director of network operations for the duration of his secondment. He will work very closely with Jo Kaye (the route managing director of the London North Western Route, which encapsulates the West Coast Main Line) and her team, using his 31 years of railway experience to bring unique insight to the task ahead.

Gosh!
At this rate the entire railway is in danger of singing from the same hymn sheet!
Therefore, in the spirit of the new collaborative West Coast Main Line, Eye gives you...
The real Thin Controller!
