Said the following about Leon Mason:

“On Sunday 28th May the Control team in TBROC received an emergency help point call from a man at Ifield station who was threatening to commit suicide. They were standing close to the platform edge and clearly waiting for a train to pass through.

Leon spoke with the person in a calm and professional manner which I believe contributed to him not doing any harm to himself. Leon continued to speak with the person until the BTP arrived on site, eventually assisting in persuading the person to go with the officers.

His actions were recognised by a number of staff members within the Control team who have praised his calm and proactive actions.“
