South Western Railway has announced that their employees and stations were recognised at the prestigious National Rail Awards last Thursday.
The winners were:
- Jeffery Fry – Lifetime Achievement Award
- Tarnia Rayment – Outstanding Personal Contribution (Frontline)
- Templecombe station – Small Station of the Year
- Station Paramedics – Safety Initiative of the Year
Jeffery Fry won the Lifetime Achievement Award, delighting both his customers and colleagues across the South Western route.
During his 58 years of continuous service at London Waterloo, Jeff has been a role model to many of his colleagues.
Tarnia Rayment won the Outstanding Personal Contribution award. She is known as ‘one in a million' by colleagues and customers and has been working SWR's popular Try the Train initiative.
Templecombe station, which is on the Exeter to London Waterloo route, was recognised as the Small Station of the Year.
The Paramedic teams at Clapham Junction and Wimbledon stations have made a remarkable difference to passengers and train journeys since they joined in November 2018. The Paramedic team scooped the Safety Initiative of the Year award.
What did the officials say?
Andy Mellors, Managing Director for South Western Railway, said:
“We are all really delighted that our colleagues have been recognised with these prestigious awards.
“On behalf of everyone at SWR, I'd like to offer a hearty congratulations to Jeffery, Tarnia, our station Paramedics and friends and colleagues at Templecombe station.
“I'd also like to commend our other nominees on the night – our Community Ambassadors, Corfe Castle summer services, and the team behind the Royal Wedding preparations last year.
“Thank you to all of our colleagues who work hard every day to provide the best possible service for our customers.”
