* Connecting with station community groups and supporting local initiatives
* In colder months, helping de-ice and salt platforms to keep passengers safe
* Cleaning and preparing our IETs at Bristol Temple Meads
* Making sure the onboard environment is clean, safe, and pleasant for our customers
* Providing great customer service whenever you're on the move
