Railway Platform Porters at Norchard

This role includes walking on the flat and steps at Norchard Railway Station.

Passengers often look towards Porters for help, information and guidance on the Railway.

This is your opportunity to meet many new people in your role and to be useful to them by being there and willing to assist passengers at the Railway Station.

This role includes helping people on and off of the trains and helping deploy the disabled ramp and safety cones located on the trains.

This is a great role as your introduction to the Railway and your railway journey with Dean Forest Railway.

As you can get very close to working steam engines, the track and rolling stock - safety for yourself and your passengers must be in the forefront of your mind.

Passenger's Dogs may also figure in the Porter role.

Porters can go home at the end of the day knowing that other people are happy and that they are pleased to have met you.
