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.

👏 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 train stopped, help 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.

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.

Adessia is a train with accessibility built in, enabling unassisted boarding at 85% of existing station platforms due to level boarding at every door along the full length of the train – reducing the additional investment needed to adapt platform heights.
