Nominations for Rail Person of the Year

Ian Watts

Said the following about Steve Tarsey:

“Steve is a truly exceptional person. He's worked on the railway for a long time and his knowledge is amazing. He works as Network Response Manager and the nature of his role means he can have to respond to just about any incident, he remains calm and in control.

Steve is a true champion of the customer and he always put them first, I've been working with Steve for the last six months and he has gone above and beyond so many times. Even when Steve has finished his shift and is heading home, he's put his high vis back on and supported our station colleagues in some challenging situations.

Steve is very proactive and always willing to work extra to support our network and customers. I've had a lot of feedback from station colleagues, that Steve is a man who can be trusted to do what he says and he is reliable and how much they appreciate him during times of disruption.“
