The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB) is pleased to announce the appointment of Andy Lewis as Chief Inspector of Rail Accidents. Andy will take up his role in November 2026 when Andrew Hall retires after almost five years as Chief Inspector.
Andy said:
It is a great privilege to take on the role of Chief Inspector. I would like to thank Andrew Hall for his outstanding leadership during a highly successful period for RAIB.
I look forward to building on the Branch’s widely recognised reputation for delivering high-quality, independent safety investigations and to working with my exceptional colleagues as we continue to develop and strengthen RAIB for the future.
