An "outstanding" cleaner saved the life of a customer who tried to take their own life at a Merseyside train station.
Vinnie O’Brien, 55, from Liverpool, stepped in during the incident at Southport station. The train presentation operative, who is responsible for keeping Northern trains clean, kept calm and administered first aid until paramedics arrived on the scene.
And now Vinnie has been shortlisted for a prestigious accolade at this year's National Rail Awards. The scheme recognises outstanding achievements across Great Britain and rewards individuals and initiatives which demonstrate innovation, measurable improvements and exceptional leadership, with Vinnie being nominated in the Outstanding Personal Contribution category.
