Said the following about Gary Craig:

“Gary is line manager to the construction, project management and engineering teams in works delivery Scotland Signalling. He gives sound advice and guides not only the signalling team to achieve ORR, Safety and TARR milestones, but also the track, civils and E&P teams at works delivery Scotland, for all their signalling engineering and construction management needs. He is the Project Manager, CRE for Signalling Construction and CEM for Construction on all of our works delivery signalling projects which is a huge responsibility. He manages competences and IRSE licencing for the works delivery Signalling team and also ensures our Contractors on site are following CDM regulations. Our team would not be the same without him and he leads us in delivering Network Rail's Safety vision and values.“

He is always keen to help with tasks in the office as well as going on site and helping the guys on track whenever they need his expertise. He has carried the office and guys on site through a difficult time with our Works Delivery Manager passing away earlier in the year.“

Scott Hendrie

Said the following about Gary Craig:

“Gary's knowledge, commitment, and infectious passion make him a highly effective manager who inspires those who work around him. Having worked his way up through the grades, he has exceptional knowledge, understanding, and insight into what is required to deliver a project on the ground as well as from the office. He provides support for the staff of all grades and is vested in people to maximise their potential, making himself available to provide advice and mentorship in IRSE licensing, training, and accreditation. Quite rightly, Gary is not just viewed as a manager but is seen as the figurehead for Signalling within Works Delivery Scotland.“

Gregor Anderson

Said the following about Gary Craig:

“Gary has been extremely useful in helping me become accustomed to life on the railway ever since I joined Network Rail around 3 years ago. If there's ever any issues or questions that I have, Gary is the first person I go to and without fail, he always has the answer. He is highly skilled and knowledgeable in both engineering & project management and is a great leader for the Signalling Team. Delighted to have Gary in charge of our team and our team would be significantly disadvantaged without his presence.“
