It's worth spending time with his book "The Regional Railways Story". (If no second hand copy, public libraries will help you lay hands on one). It's a loss to the travelling public that privatisation put his arc of progress on inter-regional services into reverse.

Very large obituary in today's Telegraph.

Sadly, we don't have details about Gordon Pettitt here on the Coffee Shop forum, but I do commend this - on another railway forum: https://www.railforums.co.uk/threads/gordon-pettitt-1934-2025.284185/
CfN.

I loved his vision for Regional Railways. The rail system is the poorer for it (and him) being no longer with us. Thoughts with his family.
