Nominations for Train Driver of the Year

Toby Merenda

Said the following about Steve Hazell:

“Steve had to deal with another train driver (a close colleague) who had a heart attack whilst driving a train and unfortunately passed away in the cab. Steve dealt with this in a very professional manner and deserves to be rewarded for what he had to deal with on this very sad evening. Steve was on his own and not only found his colleague but also dealt with two trains of passengers and assisting the emergency services when they arrived.“
