Meet The Teams - The Carriage Cleaning Team

CARRIAGE CLEANING TEAM

Updated : 19th February 2024

The Carriage Cleaning Team meet on Mondays at Toddington, around 10 a.m. They take pride in presenting clean coaches and are very pleased to hear the occasional compliments. But often a clean coach is not noticed – but a dirty one certainly is! The state of the week’s coaches is discussed at the all-important tea break….

Our Team Leader is John. He has been on the team for a very long time! He is also a signalman and in Railway Catering Services (RCS). He gets the top Job!

Here using one of two “Ghostbuster” backpack vacuum cleaners that we have, paid for by Birmingham Area Group. Trailing cables for a mains vac down a 7-coach train was not practical. We also have battery sweepers. There have been many improvements to our tools and facilities over the last 10 years. Very fortunate as trains have got longer and volunteer numbers are not much greater.
