James Walker
Head of Digital Safety | Railway Safety Directorate
Office of Rail and Road

James has been a Health and Safety Inspector with the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) since 2016. During that time, he has worked across several teams within the Railway Safety Directorate, including those responsible for Network Rail, Train Operating Companies (TOCs) and Transport for London, where he served as Principal Inspector.

Alongside his inspection work, James has been closely involved in developing ORR’s approach to cyber security and digital safety. This has included helping to design and deliver training for inspectors on the fundamentals of networking, software development and cyber security. His interest in the area stems from experience gained before joining ORR and has remained a key focus throughout his career.

James is now ORR’s Head of Digital Safety, a role established to lead the organisation’s approach to the safe introduction of digital systems across the railway industry. He works with industry and colleagues across ORR to promote closer integration between safety and security disciplines, helping ensure that the risks and opportunities presented by increasingly digital rail systems are effectively managed.
