Mark Orsman

July 26, 1961 - April 8, 2021

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 worked with Mark on the Victoria Line Upgrade Programme and am so very sad to hear of his passing. I greatly appreciated his intellectual ability - any work-related issue seemed less troubling once it had been talked-through with Mark. He took complexity in his stride and always seemed to find a pragmatic way through. Working with Mark was a very positive experience since he was genuine, insightful, supportive and collaborative - a gentleman and a scholar. On social occasions, his colourful velvet jackets signposted his unique character and perspective. I feel lucky to have known Mark over the few years that we worked together. My sincere condolences to his family, relations and friends.
