Recruitment
“On Tuesday 21st April a man was hit by a train as it passed through Dewsbury Station. The incident was particularly distressing as unfortunately the body of the man re-bounded from the train onto the station. This undoubtedly caused distress for customers and staff as events unfolded as many witnessed the incident.
Station colleague Salim Akbar together with colleague Laura Dittrich acted instinctively and professionally immediately after the incident to ensure minimum distress for customers whilst assuring dignity for the individual involved. Despite the horrible circumstances Salim and Laura maintained their composure throughout as well as going above and beyond what is expected of their role.
Network Rail also expressed their thanks for the respectfulness shown for all concerned.“
“Great awards last night – what a fantastic set up, everyone I spoke to who hadn’t been before were blown away by just how much creativity and effort goes in to it.”
