Said the following about GTR Communications Team:

“The GTR comms team has faced one of the biggest communications challenges in the industry over the last year, with a series of disruptive strikes by the RMT and ASLEF trades unions, and consequent major disruption to services.

Throughout this period, the team has shown tremendous resilience and fought hard to maintain proper communications to passengers, stakeholders and the media alike.

The editorial coverage of the dispute from most major newspaper, as well as sector press, has been largely supportive of the GTR position in the dispute; and stakeholders have been kept well informed throughout.

Hard times for a company put the communications teams through the biggest pressure. And the GTR comms team has dealt with that pressure admirably.“
