The Rail Team of the Year Award honours those teams which have delivered a project whilst overcoming significant challenges, or whose concern for colleagues and customers in difficulty is absolutely outstanding. The ScotRail team at Johnstone Station came out on top this year.
Johnstone train station is one of the busiest on the ScotRail network. It lies 15 minutes from Glasgow on the Glasgow-to-Ayr mainline. The staff at Johnstone support not just the local community, but communities across Strathclyde. They’re passionate about their station and community, and are very proactive with helping out. Over the years they’ve supported many local local projects including Woman’s Aid and Turning point, and they continue to pyjamas for children on behalf of the Provost of Renfrewshire.
“Were absolutely gobsmacked, totally overwhelmed,” said the team. “If anybody ever needs anything or any help, we’ll make sure we get it them. We’re a just a small station, but we have the biggest heart. We’d like to thank the whole community.”
The Rail Team of the Year Award was sponsored this year by Train’dUp, a leading national provider of apprenticeships and work-based learning solutions. Whether you’re an employer seeking to recruit an apprentice, or a young person seeking an apprenticeship, Train’d Up is there to support you.
“We’re absolutely delighted to sponsor this award,” said Managing Director Alan Wilson. “There are so many good people in this industry and as an organisation that works with them on a daily basis, it’s just fantastic to be part of the RailStaff Awards.”
