STREETSBLOG EXCLUSIVE: Andy Byford to Join Amtrak

Former NYC Transit President and beloved "Train Daddy" Andy Byford will join
Amtrak next month as an executive vice president, Streetsblog has learned.

Byford, who earned his nickname during his time running the MTA's city bus and
subway system from January 2018 to February 2020, returned to the United States
last year after a stint in his native U.K. as the head of Transport for London.

At Amtrak, Byford will oversee the development of high-speed rail, according to
an internal company memo. The fast train tech, which is commonplace in Asia and
Europe, has historically eluded the U.S.
