Said the following about Elena Paliceanu:

“Elena has been quietly working away on the transformation of the Hertford East line for around 5 years.

During this time she has significantly enhanced the passenger experience, working with the New River Line Partnership and internal and external stakeholders to deliver initiatives including:

*The adoption of Hertford East station by a local charity

*The “greening” of internal areas to make ticket offices more appealing

*The installation of multiple floral planters on platforms

*The introduction, repainting and repositioning of station benches

*The refreshing of the waiting room at St Margaret’s station, including a new local community library

*The expansion of the St Margaret’s station garden space

*The burgeoning commercial filming output at Hertford East station, including both local, national and international productions

*The installation of defibrillators along the line of route“
