Nominations for Rail Manager of the Year

Lynda Mason

Said the following about Samantha Dobson:

“I would like to nominate my manager Samantha (Sam as we all know her) as she has been extremely supportive, kind and caring. No matter what the issue might be she always listens without judgement. I would also like to add that Samantha made a little 8 year old foster boys dream come true even though she won't take no credit for it, it would never of happened without her. Little Sam had a very rough start of his life. Samantha allowed and set up amazing day for him to travel around three stations, she trusted myself and other members of staff to input on his day and he had the best day ever. No one saw the amount of effort Sam put in to make his day as special as it was, she even took time out on her personal life to come and make party food for me. Samantha is the best manager I have had and I feel very lucky to be apart of her team. You rock Sam.“
