Recruitment
“Alex was approached by a young male who asked 'what would happen if I jumped in front of this train?' The male then made a lunge for the train as it came onto the platform, where Alex prevented him from getting to the platform edge and Alex manoeuvred him away from the train. The man then walked to the London end of the platform and stood in a position of danger. Alex made an emergency call throughout the station for assistance and took a full line block to minimise risk to the individual. Whilst waiting for BTP to attend Alex stayed with the individual who refused to move away from the running line, maintaining constant verbal communication through open questions and conversation. Once BTP attended, Alex gave them a full rundown of what had happened and let them take over the situation.“
“Thank you for a wonderful evening- words really cannot express how humbled I am to have won, ( yes, I cried all the way home.) The entertainment and meal were first class and the whole theme was amazing , wonderful to see so many people dressed up. As for my wonderful prize money, how will I spend it ? Two ways of spending it, this is how much patience I have , I purchased a new kitchen 11 years ago and its still in the boxes as my husband hasn't fitted it yet so hopefully this may spur him on......... Secondly I am a cartoonist and I help a lot of charities and now I have the funds to actually print some cartoons on to Christmas cards, which I can hopefully sell and raise some money for The Greyhound Trust ( My local one Perry Barr) and of course The Railway Children Fund too all being well. So thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart x Best wishes Simone”
