The man tasked with working out how to improve UK railways says a 'Fat Controller' type figure, independent from government, should be in charge of day-to-day operations. The former boss of British Airways, Keith Williams, said government involvement should be limited to overall policy and budget decisions. But he said the Department for Transport should not manage the system. His review of the rail system will be published this autumn.
