Thank you to everyone working over the Christmas holidays.
We have a number of people working night and day instead of celebrating with family and friends, and we are grateful to them.
“Thank you to all the people who will be giving up time with their family and friends,” said Laurence Mckidd, managing director. “This holiday period, when up to 50% fewer people are on the transport network, allows a real push on important engineering and infrastructure projects. I’d also like to acknowledge those who have worked on weekends and overnight throughout the year – thank you.”
