Britain's first 'female operated' passenger service marks International Women's Day

摘要

Network Rail and Southeastern joined forces on 6 March to launch the first-ever passenger service run entirely by women. To mark International Women's Day, a rush-hour Southeastern service left London for Kent with a female driver and conductor, while female Network Rail signallers staffed the route. It marked the first time that a commuter service has been operated exclusively by female rail staff from start to finish - from the depot to destination; in all, some 15 women took part.
