Nominations for Station Staff of the Year

Diane Lilley

Said the following about Alex Lucas:

“During recent bad weather he kept all of his customers informed of changes to timetables. Nothing is ever too much trouble. He looks after his customers and his workplace with care and attention beyond the call of duty. On a daily basis he welcomes customers with a smile. On special occasions he decorates his booking office appropriately (eg Christmas, Easter). We love him!“

Lindsey Fisher

Said the following about Alex Lucas:

“I would like to nominate Alex Lucas who works at Elsenham railway station. He is always friendly and willing to lend a hand. He keeps us villagers updated with the travel information daily on cancelled or delayed trains via our local Facebook community page. He deserves this award for all the hard work in keeping the village station in tip top condition. This is the only manned gated station for miles and miles too“

Vanessa Langley

Said the following about Alex Lucas:

“Exceptional customer service at Elsenham Station. He goes out of his way to help customers. Provides amazing updates on social media to ensure that we all know what status of trains is. Even available online on his days off

Christmas decorations are fab. Water in the summer months.

He is Greater Anglia's 'saving grace' when the trains are working smoothly

Where would we be without Alex? Thank you Alex - you are a superstar :-)“

Sally Cowan

Said the following about Alex Lucas:

“Alex is such a fabulous man

He is so efficient with updates on times and delays - I no longer look at the train app as Alex has already updated our village FB page

The ticket office is always cheery and his notice board is always up to date with facts of the day, jokes and other information

I once received a text regarding my child’s railcard which was above and beyond any member of staff

He has re-connected PE bags that are left at the station and we absolutely love this guy!!“
