Recruitment
“A customer approached Dave in the ticket office in quite a panic alerting him to a vulnerable young girl on the platform.
Dave raced to the platform and the girl was a few feet from the platform edge and was planning to jump in front of the next train which was imminent. It is worth noting that passengers on the platform had heard a conversation from the young lady which had raised alarm and alerted them to the situation.
As the train approached Dave grabbed the girl and pull her away from the edge of the platform. All the time she was struggling and trying to get away from him towards the train.
There was a member of our station maintenance team on site and Dave instructed him to call the signaller and stop trains.
The BTP were called who attended and took over the incident. We later heard that the young lady was receiving help.“
“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”
