Gary Campbell

Said the following about Robert Smith:

“Rob was working as the team leader at a station just as a virgin Train was pulling into Platform 1 he noticed a male close to the edge, he asked the male several times to stand back, but the male refused and started to shout at Rob.

The train was approaching closer to the platform and again Rob asked him to move back again the male refused, Rob then had to pull the male back from the edge and wrestle him to the ground until help arrived.

If it was not for Rob and his fast thinking this male would have been another '' person hit by a Train''

Rob displayed great courage in what he did to protect this male’s life“
