About Simon Chaplin

With a railway career spanning over twenty seven years, I have experience of many aspects of the industry.My most recent role is as a Fleet Control Manager, based in the Three Bridges Rail Operating Centre. Since the Fleet Control was created in 2010, I have been involved in managing the day to day operation of Southern, Thameslink and Great Northern trains. This involves planning maintenance as well as resolving any "in-flight" issues, such as traction failures across all three tocs. I am an honest, hard working individual with a "have a go" attitude, willing to try my hand at anything. I'm enthusiastic about the railway industry, my employer since I was sixteen.
