John said Station staff are an integral part of the railway and being the first port of contact, they play a very important role in helping customers and making their experience on the railway a pleasant one. They often have to deal with difficult situations that require compassion and courage when helping vulnerable people who enter the railway. They simply are a credit to the railway industry.”
