In 1999, RRV operator Jack Rowland was welcomed into the Quattro family.  Since then, Jack has worked on rail all over the country, including Manchester Piccadilly, Crewe, Derby, lines in the Scunthorpe Docks and hundreds of p-ways.  The chances are if you’ve rode the train up the west coast mainline, those tracks were laid by ‘Mad Jack’.

Born and raised in Clifton, Manchester, Jack Rowland is now retiring at the end of November after a lifetime of nights on the railway.  We caught up with him to reflect on his career and what’s next for the self-proclaimed ‘adrenaline junkie’.
