Recruitment
“Alistair has been the Train Manager Coach at Newcastle depot for the past 6 years.
During the 6 years, he has played a key part in the training and coaching of new Train Managers once they have left the training school. He has carried out peer assessments to keep Train Manager's competency packs up to date and he also trained the majority of Newcastle depot's Train Managers on the HST power assisted doors when they were modified.
Alistair has also worked across depots, providing Train Manager Coach support for Leeds depot whilst they recruited for their own coach position(s).
Lastly, Alistair helped me personally when I got the role of Train Manager Coach at Newcastle. He shared with me his knowledge and expertise and was always available if I needed help completing my training.
It has been a pleasure to work alongside Alistair and have him as a mentor. Whilst doing this Alistair also continued his own day to day role as Train Manager.“
““John Sheehy the General Manager at the Transport Benevolent Fund CIO is pleased the Fund is able to sponsor the Station Staff Award again this year. John said Station staff are an integral part of the railway and being the first port of contact, they play a very important role in helping customers and making their experience on the railway a pleasant one. They often have to deal with difficult situations that require compassion and courage when helping vulnerable people who enter the railway. They simply are a credit to the railway industry.”
