The RailStaff Awards 2024

Nominations for Station Staff Award

Rhiannon Jones

Said the following about Les Munson:

“Les Munson has worked on the railway for 40 years, he is a staff rep & lead safety rep who cares deeply about his colleagues. I am nominating Les as he has been there day & night to support me through an extremely difficult time.

I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) after an incident at work that involved a suicidal person who tried to take her own life & mine as she attempted to jump in front of an oncoming train.

Les was there to support me whenever I needed it, by answering my calls, attending medicals, involving senior management when needed & brought me out of flashbacks to a sense of reality.

If I didn't have the support of Les & my colleagues I can definitely say I would not be who I am today & still working on the railway.“
