Lee Bayliss has joined GB Railfreight (GBRf) as the new Head of Production. Lee, 40, will be responsible for the real time delivery of all GB services via the management of the fleet and control teams, based in Peterborough.

He joins GBRf from DB Schenker and has worked in a variety of roles across the rail industry, bringing with him a wide range of service delivery experience in both GBRf’s current and emerging operational areas.  With experience at senior level in both the freight and passenger sides of the railway, Lee was most recently Head of Bulk Services for DB Schenker before joining GBRf.

Dave Knowles, Operations Director for GBRf, said of Lee’s appointment: “Lee is an exciting addition to the GBRf team, bringing with him a wide range of experience in both front line operational delivery and behind-the-scenes service development, both within our current portfolio and also those that will be new to us this year.
