In August it was announced that the Railway Mission has invested in the chaplaincy service and increased the support to the railway industry to help staff through the recent industrial problems faced by many of the train operating companies.
As well as the addition of five new full-time chaplains to the chaplaincy team, the hours of some of the part time chaplains has also been increased.
Chaplaincy is at the sharp edge of Christian outreach and having an open door to the railway industry for an openly Christian ministry demonstrates the value of Christianity in a secular society.
