CBE for Radlett resident
12:19pm Wednesday 31st December 2008 in
A Radlett resident has been awarded a CBE for his services as the chief executive of a rail company.
Rob Holden, CEO of London and Continental Railways, was awarded the new year's honour for his contribution to transport.
London and Continental Railways were behind High Speed 1, Britain's first high speed railway and the restoration of St Pancras International rail station in London.
Mr Holden said: "The success of St Pancras International, Eurostar and the whole High Speed 1 rail project is testament to the vision and dedication of all who work and have worked on the project. HS1 is a welcome success story for London and the country as much as it is a milestone for railway history."

What has become of this country?
If animals were transported by the outfit run by this guy, it would be a trip to the local magistrates for him, not tea at the palace!
