HSRL Chair, Baroness Jo Valentine, said: "With the UK Department for Transport and other stakeholders now actively engaged in securing a privately-financed railway to Heathrow and resolving this decades-old issue, HSRL is pleased to be able to place its full trust and executive authority with such a seasoned infrastructure development expert as Graham Cross.

"We also look forward to continuing to work with Steve Costello whose drive and vision has brought us to where we are today. Steve will continue to be heavily involved as an Executive Director as we go forward."
