Railway Chaplain for the East of Scotland
Dundee, Scotland
Joined July 2016
It was great to see the railway family come together with every TOC including @CalSleeper @NetworkRailEDB laying a wreath to remember the 775 railway workers @NetworkRailEDB who sacrificed their lives in the Great War. We remember all the others who died in wars that followed it

@railwaychaplain @BTPAuthority @BTPMurray @BTPScotland @jdereckgrant We can confirm, @jdereckgrant has arrived safely in London... but why is the chaplain for the East of Scotland so far from home?

It's a tremendous privilege to have colleagues such as @jdereckgrant working with Railway Mission. Tonight, Dereck was awarded as 'Chaplain of the Year' for his dedication & assistance in supporting a person in distress, preventing harm to him, & trauma for rail staff. Well done
