Our Board is made up of a mix of representatives from the public and private sectors, Rail North authorities from outside of the Transport for the North area and our delivery partners, with Lord Patrick McLoughlin as Chair.
Each of the 20 Constituent Authorities appoints one of its elected Members to be a Member of the Transport for the North Board.
The Member appointed must be in the case of a Constituent Authority that has an elected Mayor, the Mayor or the elected Member with responsibility for transport and in any other case the Leader, the Chair or the elected Member with responsibility for transport.

Patrick manages and leads our Partnership Board, as well as the Operations Board. He has had an extensive career in UK politics spanning over 30 years. His experience in central Government included two years as Government Chief Whip and four years as Secretary of State for Transport and recently took his seat in the House of Lords in 2020.
