The ATOC Council and Board

The ATOC Council is made up of representatives from full members of the association, and the ATOC Board is elected from ATOC Council representatives. Together the Board and Council have two key roles:

• To give members a place to come together to oversee the operation of ATOC activities, all of which involve train companies working together to find more efficient and cost effective ways of operating their businesses, and enhance the benefits to passengers of the UK’s national rail network
• To shape national debate and influence the policy agenda for trains and the railways more widely by projecting a collective voice for members
