TEESSIDE'S new rail boss is Nadia Roche, who has been appointed Trans-Pennine and InterCity station manager, based at Middlesbrough.
She will also cover stations in Northallerton, Thornaby, Thirsk and Yarm.
One of few women station managers in the UK, Nadia will be responsible for ensuring they run smoothly, while overseeing staff, including caterers, ticket attendants and cleaners.
Ms Roche spent 11 years working for rail company GNER, before being appointed station manager for Trans-Pennine Express last month.
"I am very excited about my role as station manager," she said. "The best thing about this job is the challenge and variety offered by the position.
"Coming into contact with so many people and working with such a strong team is great.
"It's lovely when someone compliments you for doing a good job and we are constantly trying to improve the services offered based on comments given by our passengers."
