The National Railway Museum and its sister museum Locomotion have launchedan exhibitioncelebrating the vital role played by railway key workers during the pandemic.
Named铁路英雄展览最初在网上开幕，最终将表彰16位来自铁路行业的人士的无私成就，他们在中国应对covid-19事件中发挥了重要作用。
From transporting vital medical supplies to setting up Nightingale hospitals and even sewing PPE, many rail workers have gone the extra mile during the pandemic as well as working to keep passengers and freight moving around the clock in their day jobs.
展览将展出16幅著名摄影师的肖像照片夏洛特·格雷厄姆.The first six Railway Heroes star in a special online exhibition hosted on the National Railway Museum website, with new profiles added each week.
一旦解除了国家封锁限制，一个由16个人参加的实体展览将在约克的国家铁路博物馆和达勒姆郡希尔顿的火车站同时开幕。
Judith McNicol, director of the National Railway Museum, said: “This exhibition is an opportunity to say ‘thank you’ to the thousands of railway key workers who have kept the country going over the last year. From delivering essential supplies and transporting NHS workers, to selfless volunteering, the stories featured in the exhibition are an inspiration and fully deserving of wider recognition.”
该展览展示了来自Stockton-On-Tees的铁路工人（如Jolene Miller）的特殊善意和奉献精神的行为，他们在第一次锁定期间花了她的时间，继续为乘客提供服务者的乘客Northern Trains，同时也在她以前的护理职业中做志愿者。尽管面临着兼顾两份工作的挑战，乔琳还是能够在一周内驾驶火车，下一周在病房工作。
Also featuring in the exhibition is Penny Bond from Grantham who works for train operator伦敦东北铁路. 佩妮组织了一个名为“致朋友的信”的写信活动，作为LNER保护区倡议的一部分，为生活在受流感影响的护理院的数百名孤寡老人创造了一条至关重要的生命线。

英国国营铁路公司（Network Rail）首席执行官安德鲁·海恩斯亚搏彩票软件官网（Andrew Haines）说：“铁路工人在大流行期间发挥了至关重要的作用，他们维护和运营了一条安全可靠的铁路，以便关键工人能够继续上班，并通过在全国运送食品和药品等关键货物保持英国的联系。
“Many rail workers have also gone above and beyond their day jobs over the past year – helping to set up Nightingale hospitals, donating much-needed equipment to the NHS and delivering food parcels to vulnerable people in their local communities. The National Railway Museum’s ‘Railway Heroes' exhibition is a fitting way to recognise the outstanding efforts of railway workers in such challenging times. I am incredibly proud of their contributions to the railway and local communities.”
Hussain Master, an Avanti West Coast train manager based at Preston, who helped to deliver hundreds of hot meals to NHS workers as part of his charitable efforts, said: “I’m so proud to be playing my part to keep our services running to allow key workers and those making essential journeys to get where they need to be, while supporting good causes in the communities we serve.
“Keeping people connected and volunteering for local charities has been so rewarding and I feel blessed to be making a difference. My story is one of many railway workers that have contributed to the UK’s response to Covid-19 and it is an honour to support the National Railway Museum’s work to recognise the role of the railway and its people, including my Avanti West Coast colleagues, during the pandemic.”
林琦来自Laing O'Rourke和J。墨菲合资公司说：“很荣幸被邀请参加展览，为LM和该地区飘扬旗帜，我希望激励更多的年轻人，特别是女性，考虑在建筑和工程行业谋一份职业。
“五年前，我还没想到自己会在这个行业工作，从事高铁2号这样规模的项目，但我喜欢成为一个大团队的一员，帮助交付这条前所未有的英国铁路。”
北部火车司机，展览的Jolene Miller说：“我知道很多人都知道在NHS中工作，并在当天在医院工作几个月后工作。我只是想使用我的技能。“
David Horne, managing director for LNER, said: “We’re extremely proud of how the entire UK rail industry, particularly our LNER colleagues, have shown dedication and tenacity in what have been some very difficult times. Our teams have been dynamic, entrepreneurial and most importantly supportive of each other and the communities we serve.
“我们很高兴看到我们的同事戴维·格洛弗和彭妮·邦德在铁路英雄展上获得认可，因为他们自2020年3月以来为社区做出了非凡和无私的贡献，这体现了我们的LNER价值观。”亚博账号登录
