SOMETHING TO SAY? . . . . . . .

. . . . . . SOMEONE TO LISTEN

Life can feel like an inferno sometimes. Domestic upheaval, illness, bereavement, stress: these and other challenges are hard to handle, affecting not only ourselves but our families, friends and colleagues too.

When problems and worries crowd in, just having someone to talk to can make all the difference. The National Rail Chaplaincy Service is available to all rail staff members (including those who are retired), their families and the travelling public. Our Chaplains offer help and a listening ear to anyone who needs it and their contact details are available on this site. When life turns up the heat, no matter what your faith (or none) or lifestyle we are here for you.

The work of the Chaplains compliments that of the welfare services offered by employers. Together we seek to ensure that all employees receive the pastoral care that they need. The National Rail Chaplaincy Service is a 7-day a week, 24 hours a day service - just like the railway industry itself.

Chaplains Byron Lewis and Jeff Potter were interviewed for an episode of Songs of Praise on the topic of ‘Journeying’, relating to how Jesus journeyed amongst the people during his ministry on earth and didn't just stay at the temple / synagogue; He got out and got involved!

The program was screened on Sun 8th July 2012.
