West Midlands Railway, which operates services to and from Lichfield and Shenstone, ws named Train Operator of the Year at the Rail Business Awards.

“This award is testament to the hard work of colleagues across our business, who have successfully introduced three new train fleets and future-proofed our train depots, while continuing to keep passengers moving every day.

“It’s been a tremendous team effort, so it’s fantastic to be recognised for our achievements over the past year.

“We are committed to keeping up this high standard and continuing to improve so we can deliver the best possible service for our customers and communities.”
