“I have worked for five years on and off with Tommy on platforms at Carlisle. It's my last couple of weeks before going back on board and I have to say... 50 years on the railway is a long time. This man is a one man machine. He is a backbone, a plethora of knowledge and a support system in Carlisle (a number of colleague’s opinions). He is also like a father to me and others. Always consistent, diligent and resilient... He never complains. I will miss working with him. He deserves this accolade.“
“I have worked at Carlisle for 20 years and I feel Tommy needs a mention. He has worked on the railway (not just Carlisle) for 50 years.
He has just celebrated his 65th birthday also, (he won't like me mentioning it), but I feel it is the right time to vote for a gentleman who has earned his stripes.
Over the years he's never wavered and safety and consistency has always been the forefront.
It’s about time we mentioned this modest guy!
Good luck!“
