This page has been set up to allow friends and former colleagues of Mark to leave messages of condolence or to share their memories or stories about him with his family. As much of Mark’s career was spent on London Underground it will come as no surprise to hear from his family that “Mark’s soul was always with London Underground and he was hoping to return to work in LU again but it unfortunately did not happen”. After Mark’s first thirteen years at LU he left and spent three years working on Chiltern Railways. He then returned to LU for a further twelve years before leaving again and undertaking consultancy work for Ricardo Rail and WSP.

I knew Mark whilst he was Head of Assurance on the Victoria Line Upgrade programme (VLUP) between 2005 and 2009. He was a larger than life character - with a rather frightening dress sense at times. Coming from outside the rail industry into my role as Chief Engineer (a role that Mark later fulfilled following the commencement of passenger operations), I relied on his experience & confident manner - especially leading the Safety Panels. Mark was always positive and willing to be pragmatic and he made a significant contribution to the VLUP which was probably London Underground's most successful railway upgrade.
