Adrian Quine
Chief Executive Officer
Adrian Quine is an entrepreneur, strategic advisor and former BBC World Service current affairs and business journalist with a strong interest in transport. A creative thinker, he has a track record in delivering complex projects by adopting ‘out of the box’ thinking while challenging the status quo.
He brings strong strategic leadership and is well-versed in communicating persuasively, new and creative ideas to the rail industry which is often culturally averse to change. He was one of the initial founders of ‘Alliance Rail Holdings Ltd’ and recently founded a bespoke daily tourist rail service on the popular Settle – Carlisle line, of which he is a trustee and CEO of the line’s listed heritage property portfolio.
He has written think tank policy papers and blogs on rail policy and is regularly invited to comment in the print and broadcast media. He is a keen supporter of rail liberalisation, yet a pragmatist who believes that not all rail models are the same with a role for both the private sector and the state. When time allows, he’s also an ad-hoc columnist for The Telegraph.
