Three Amaro team members pass PTS

It’s a big day today for our stores assistant, Holly Bowyer, and two of our apprentices, Jerome Felix and Jack Rollinson…

They’ve officially passed their very first PTS (Personal Track Safety) course!

To many this may not seem like such a big deal, but for those working on the railway it’s a major career milestone. Thanks to their brand new PTS cards, they’re able to prove that they’ve…

– Sat an online, e-learning course
– Undergone a Network Rail medical examination
– Passed a drug and alcohol test
– Attended an in-person course and assessment

… and more, demonstrating that they understand the rules and regulations that are in force for personal safety, all of which need to be observed when working ‘on or near the line’.

Congratulations, Holly, Jerome, and Jack!

The scene is illuminated by ambient lighting and shows railway tracks stretching into the distance, leading towards a well-lit station. The worker, equipped with a helmet and a bag, appears to be engaged in track inspection or maintenance duties.
