Metro recognised for service improvements and reliability boost

Metro recognised at GLRA

Increases in service frequency and improved reliability have earned West Midlands Metro recognition at a recent high-profile awards event.

At the recent Global Light Rail Awards held at the Bloomsbury Ballroom in London, the Metro was highly commended in the Most Improved System and UK Operator of the Year category. This recognition comes after the network significantly increased service frequency and enhanced reliability.

The event also saw two Metro team members, Conor Moon and Carl Brazier, recognised as runners-up in the Rising Star and Employee of the Year categories. Both have made an impressive impact within the Metro. Carl, a former Royal Navy member who joined just a year ago, has become an integral part of the Signalling and Communications Team. Conor has excelled in his role as a Project Engineer, managing a mix of complex infrastructure upgrades with great success.

A special award was also presented to Gavin Lloyd, a long-serving colleague, for his outstanding contribution to the light rail industry. Despite being diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease in 2015, Gavin has continued to be a valued member of the team, playing an important role in the growth of our network.

Sophie Allison, Metro Managing Director, remarked: “While we narrowly missed out on first place in these competitive categories, the entire Metro team should be proud of their hard work over a year in which service frequency increased to every eight minutes, thanks to major infrastructure improvements. Congratulations to Carl and Conor for their well-deserved recognition, as well.”

 “A special congratulations to Gavin—his journey is truly inspiring, and it was an honour to witness the standing ovation he received in recognition of his journey.”
