Going above and beyond for a vulnerable customer 💙 Recently, Bus Station Controller Winsome was working at Harrow Bus Station when an elderly customer approached her window and asked to buy a ticket to Athens, Greece. Winsome quickly realised that the customer was upset and confused. After taking the time to sit and talk with her, she discovered that she couldn’t remember her postcode. Rather than simply directing her elsewhere, Winsome went the extra mile. She accompanied the customer on a 30-minute walk home, supported her when she nearly fell, and stayed with her until she knew she was safely home. When they arrived, the customer’s daughter spoke through the doorbell camera to thank Winsome for bringing her home safely. The following day, Winsome arrived at work to find a handwritten card and flowers from the customer’s family. She learned that the lady had dementia, and her daughter was incredibly grateful for the kindness and care Winsome had shown. Thank you, Winsome, for going above and beyond to support a vulnerable customer and for showing such compassion and kindness. #TfLCares #CustomerService #LondonTransport

A flower grown with love became a reminder of how much South Tottenham station means to its community 🌸 During a visit from a school for children with additional needs, a pupil asked station assistants, Ray and Azaz, if they could grow a flower for his mum.

A few weeks later, Azaz had grown one especially for him. The boy was delighted, running around the garden with the biggest smile on his face. His teacher later explained that his mum had sadly passed away a few months earlier, and he wanted the flower for her grave but couldn’t afford one himself. For Ray and Azaz, moments like this show that the garden is about much more than gardening. It’s about bringing people together and making a difference in the community.
