Said the following about Beth Hemingway - **HAS LEFT**:

“Beth did an excellent job when she was made aware of a gentleman who had come to the station in a suicidal state planning on ending his life Beth had just completed the Samaritans training and without hesitation went to talk to him and spent time finding out his problems and just taking the time to listen. Through doing this she avoided any incident and helped him by caring for his welfare, she also ensured the safe and efficient running of the station whilst this was all going on. The BTP was contacted and the gentleman was escorted to safety away from the running lines, what Beth did was outstanding and ultimately saved a life - well done Beth“
