Miss Hooper, who lives in Hampshire and London, was first appointed Chairman of the Southern RUCC in 1986. Miss Hooper is currently a member of the Railway Industry Advisory Committee and the Health and Safety Commission. She is also a member of the Corporate Sub-Committee and Deputy Chairman of the Eurostar Joint Sub-Committee of the Central Rail Users Consultative Committee (CRUCC).

Sir George Young, Secretary of State for Transport, appoints the Chairmen of the regional Rail Users Consultative Committees. 3. Rail users who do not receive a satisfactory response to their complaint, from their train operator, can contact the appropriate Committee which may be able to take up the matter on their behalf. 4. In the case of closures of services or stations, for instance, the Committee have the power to hold public hearings; they can then report on possible hardships and propose amendments to alleviate them. 5. The Committees can also consider any matter which is referred to them by the Secretary of State and the Regulator, as well as any other matter that they feel they themselves should look into.
