Farewell Ralph When Ralph Coleman first applied to work for Railway Mission, he did not get the job. Although he had the experience and was qualified, we felt that his gifts were more suited to being a chaplain. So he became the chaplain for the East Midlands, then later reducing his hours and working in the West Midlands.
Ralph Coleman is hanging up his chaplain’s lanyard for a well earned retirement Ralph has made a huge and positive impact on the lives of railway people and his work and dedication will be missed by the team. We wish him every blessing for his retirement.
A good read during lockdown… Old Bill’s Tales of the Railway ‘Old Bill’ by Bill Rogerson MBE , is ‘the heart-warming tale of the life of a British Transport Police Officer and steadfast community worker. Bill looks back at his 49 years working with the British Transport Police working as a warranted officer, a civilian and a volunteer, which was sometime humorous and sometimes serious.’ Bill’s book is available from Amazon Books.
