Simon Cassidy is a dedicated rail sector colleague from the operator First Rail and Member of our Task Force. This week, Simon will once again transport essential aid donated for Ukraine to the Humanitarian Hub in Poland.

Simon Cassidy, a dedicated rail sector colleague from First Rail and a Member of our Task Force, travelled to Ukraine two weeks ago. This week he is in Kyiv, visiting our partners at Ukrainian Railways and the Trade Union of Railway and Transport Builders of Ukraine.

Kyiv and other cities have come under sustained arial attack almost all week long, and Simon has spent most of the week hearing sirens go off and sleeping in an air raid shelter.

The Global Ukraine Rail Task Force is proud to highlight the highly commendable humanitarian efforts of Simon Cassidy, a dedicated rail sector colleague from First Group and Member of our Task Force.
