Thankfully the Northern Travel Safety Officers where there to rescue the passenger who had fallen under the train. Great respect to them.
@LevelBoarding is safer for everyone.
@LevelBoarding is safer for everyone.
👏 Two everyday heroes. One life-saving response. 🦸
A huge well done to Josh and Neil, our Travel Safe Officers, who helped save a passenger who had fallen onto the tracks at Lea Green station.
When they heard a loud bang, Josh and Neil acted quickly, working together to get the injured passenger to safety and administer first aid.
Despite a frightening situation, they remained calm under pressure and stayed with the passenger to make sure he was okay.
Their quick thinking, courage and teamwork are a powerful example of the difference our people make every day across the Northern network. 💙
Josh and Neil were nominated for a Lifesaver Award at the 2026 RailStaff Awards in recognition of their actions.
👏 Please join us in thanking Josh and Neil for their incredible response.

This article is from August 2018, when I started going on about level boarding publicly. We did it, folks. You CAN make things better - don't let anyone tell you otherwise:
As I said in my speech at conference, a train without level boarding is a job you can't take.
All new Great British Railways trains will be level boarding, as standard.
We’re building a railway that everyone can rely on.

A massive, hard won victory for the Campaign for @LevelBoarding and its allies in @TransportForAll, as well as supporters of @Railnatter given they've helped me to lobby for this behind the scenes.
Welcome in GBR's rolling stock strategy is the commitment to low-floor trains that provide level-boarding. This is long overdue!

I find it baffling…
Order level boarding trains… ban people that require level boarding.
Genuinely can’t make it up 🙃

Not if you are a mobility scooter user
@My_Metro discriminatory policy bans them
@northernassist mobility scooter users can now travel on Northumberland Line ,after I held them to account + collaborated on new policy, but cannot link to metro services

Relatedly, we've still not had any response from @transportgovuk or @Heidi_Labour to the Campaign for @LevelBoarding letter on the HS2 fleet. They just don't take accessibility seriously.
