Hi and thank you so much for providing a review, really pleased that you find the culture and work as positive. We're working hard to remove bureaucracy and the Putting Passengers First programme is proving lots of opportunity for devolved decision making, something that we have seen really come into it's own during the COVID 19 crisis. Please do chat to your line manager or through our Putting Passengers First Yammer group for any suggestions you think could help us to continually improve. Thanks again.
