Allen McCutcheon

Said the following about Network Rail Operations:

“There is almost one suicide per day on the railway – not everyone can be prevented – but when people are prepared to make a difference and save just one life and they deserve to be recognised for the sterling work they’ve done.

The emergency intervention, unit, of which these two gentleman work have an outstanding success rate over the years, preventing suicides, and assisting and supporting others to prevent suicides. They are a credit to the EIU – emergency intervention unit, a collaboration between network rail, British transport police and in their area GWR.“
