Recruitment
“I received a call from Brett in Control who advised that Kathy had just prevented a potential suicide at the station!
As the 2040 was coming into platform 6, Kathy noticed a guy standing near to the platform edge. At first she thought he may have been waiting for someone. The driver sounded the horn and Kathy ran over to the male, who then proceeded to try and step out in front of the incoming train. Kathy grabbed the man and held him back until the train could stop. The male then said that he’d wanted to commit suicide and was suffering from schizophrenia. Kathy looked after him and contacted the BTP who have apprehended the male to ensure that he gets the right support.
Kathy’s quick and very brave actions have undoubtedly prevented a suicide this evening - well done Kathy!!“
“Kathy is amazing, hardworking, kind and most importantly honest â¤ï¸Good luck Kathy“
“Thank you for a wonderful evening- words really cannot express how humbled I am to have won, ( yes, I cried all the way home.) The entertainment and meal were first class and the whole theme was amazing , wonderful to see so many people dressed up. As for my wonderful prize money, how will I spend it ? Two ways of spending it, this is how much patience I have , I purchased a new kitchen 11 years ago and its still in the boxes as my husband hasn't fitted it yet so hopefully this may spur him on......... Secondly I am a cartoonist and I help a lot of charities and now I have the funds to actually print some cartoons on to Christmas cards, which I can hopefully sell and raise some money for The Greyhound Trust ( My local one Perry Barr) and of course The Railway Children Fund too all being well. So thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart x Best wishes Simone”
