Five new recruits have joined the Railway Mission as the charitable organisation seeks to boost the support it offers to rail industry staff.
Executive director Liam Johnston said he hopes the new chaplains will “help alleviate some of the pressures faced by front line staff on the railway”.
The Mission, which listed timetable changes, strikes, and passenger dissatisfaction as all having a negative impact on staff, will also be increasing the hours of some of its part-time chaplains too.
