Alexandru Suciu
West Midlands Trains

Alex dealt with a distressing incident recently when on shift when he noticed a young lady standing in front of the yellow line on the platform. He politely informed her that she needed to stand behind the yellow line due to fast trains going through the station. However, as he carried on his duties, he looked back and saw the lady was still standing at the edge of the platform, with a fast train approaching. He ran back towards her as she went to jump in front of the train.

Unfortunately, Alex was not able to stop the train hitting her, but he immediately called security and comforted her until the emergency services arrived on site. Alex does a great job at Milton Keynes Central station; he goes out of his way to help anybody where he can.

Gary Douglas
West Yorkshire Combined Authority

Gary is deployed as a Customer Care Officer at the Halifax Bus Station. During a recent patrol, Gary heard loud screams which led him to the toilets where a female was being physically and verbally attacked by a male. Gary moved the female into the toilets to keep her safe, where the female stated the male was her boyfriend who has Schizophrenia and could be carrying a knife.

Gary was able to calm the male down but remained vigilant whilst awaiting police response. Once police arrived and arrested the male, they discovered he was not carrying a knife. Gary remained calm and was able to handle the situation in a professional manner. Having the knowledge and understanding of how to deal with serious incidents of this nature, he is a credit to Carlisle and the contract.

Ricky Bennett
Arriva Rail London

Ricky was a Senior Supervisor running a single site operation for Transport for London, before joining Carlisle and becoming our Contract Manager for ARL. With this role Ricky had to embark on a major service transition where all operatives changed their roles, eight additional staff were TUPE’d over and the contract also required an additional ten positions to be covered with three weeks’ notice.

During this time, Ricky was also tasked with mobilising a trial service which was a great success, and on top of this, Ricky had to continue his day-to-day role of managing the contract. What impresses us most about Ricky is that he still has an eye on the future, with a plan and objectives for himself.
