<p>Yesterday we joined our Railway Family for the much-loved Rail Staff Christmas Carols, organised by the <a href="https://tbf.org.uk/">Transport Benevolent Fund CIO</a>, which returned after a two-year hiatus. </p>
<p>The Transport Benevolent Fund CIO (TBF) offers support to those working in the public transport industry if they should find themselves in a situation of need, hardship or distress. We are proud to sponsor the service this year alongside <a href="https://www.networkrail.co.uk/">Network Rail</a>, <a href="https://www.rssb.co.uk/en">Rail Safety and Standards Board</a>, <a href="https://rfg.org.uk/">Rail Freight Group</a>, <a href="https://gbrtt.co.uk/">Great British Railways Transition Team</a> and <a href="https://www.railforum.uk/">Rail Forum</a>. </p>
<p>After a challenging year for many in the industry, it was a great chance for us to get together with colleagues and friends to celebrate the season with readings, and carols led by the talented <a href="https://www.londonstransportchoir.org/">London’s Transport Choir</a>.</p>
