Summit focused on tackling violence & antisocial behaviour. 9,542 rail assaults in 2023–24 (+17%). Safety must mean real resources, BTP funding & zero tolerance so every worker gets home safe. Great to be on panel representing @TSSAunion members.
We recently hosted a Safety in Public Transport Summit at our Pontypridd headquarters. The summit brought industry leaders, trade unions and safety experts together to ensure we’re working collaboratively to create a safe travel environment for all passengers and staff

I’ve decided to pick up my old hobby of scrapbooking, journalling and keeping diaries and I now have 64287 items of stationery so I better hyper fixate on this for years or I’ll be drowning in washi tape
