Good evening, all,
We all travel by train fairly regularly. I have no doubt that most journeys pass by and remain fairly mundane, nothing really to write home about. Sometimes we end up moaning and complaining.
Something I don’t feel that we do enough is celebrate the good. Those moments where a TOC, an individual staff member, or similar, has done something to create a memorable moment. Something to write home about for the right reasons.
Whilst sitting journeying this evening, I thought I’d create a thread where we can come together to celebrate the staff of our railways. Let’s share stories between ourselves to promote positivity.
It goes without saying that I really do encourage you to communicate with the TOC to pass on your thanks alongside sharing it with us.
I’ll start us off… a story from my travels with Hull Trains a few days ago.
The way the On Board Manager went about his duties stood out to me. A spring in his step, clear joy and enthusiasm for the job being done. He had patience and understanding to find a solution for each ticketing irregularity, etc. He went above and beyond for his customers and certainly made my journey a lot easier.
What moment stands out for you to share?
