WM Trains Limited

WM Trains are proud to Support Rail Safety Week 2026.

Rail Safety Week begins at WM Trains with a welcome message, alongside a video and introduction from Simon Newell Safety, Security and Sustainability Director explaining planned activities and sharing the results of our internal Safety Culture Survey. There will also be external communications promoting Rail Safety Week for customers. The Security Team will be based at Wolverhampton and Milton Keynes Central, delivering sessions on Body Worn Video Cameras. These sessions will include practical demonstrations, myth-busting, and distribution of promotional materials such as booklets. In addition, the British Transport Police will attend, along with any charity partners. Also taking place is a SPAD Reduction Roadshow at our depots. We will also be holding an Occupational Health Roadshow will be held at Head Office, providing information about the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), available resources for managers, and referral procedures to Occupational Health. There will also be an opportunity for colleagues to complete DSE forms and receive advice on working comfortably. Finally, there will be Slips, Trips, and Falls awareness sessions delivered at key locations including University, Wolverhampton, and Walsall. These sessions will encourage employees and customers to hold handrails, avoid using mobile devices, and not to rush for trains.
Other Activities include Watford Junction, where children from a local school will make safety announcements throughout the week. Additionally, a Wellbeing Day will take place at Tyseley Depot on 25 June.
