To paraphrase Holy Writ - "Can anything good come out of Porterbrook"?Bucking the trend is Keith Rose, former Head of Safety at the ROSCO, who has become the new Chairman of the Railway Mission.
The Fact Compiler has a great fondness for the Railway Padres who have maintained a continuous pastoral presence, available to passengers and staff alike, on Britain's railways since 1881.
The mission's founding objective is to further “the moral and spiritual advancement of railway employees of all ages”. A role they continue today.
Keith is from the Evangelical tradition so, despite his elevation, those who meet him are advised not to try and kiss his ring.
