Rainbow on rails: Pride train with all-LGBT+ crew to make inaugural journey
The train will carry what’s thought to be the biggest Pride flag in the UK across its carriages.
The UK’s first fully decorated Pride train will be making its inaugural journey on Tuesday, staffed by an LGBT+ crew.
The biggest Pride flag reportedly seen in the UK will grace the side of the 11-carriage train, which will travel from London Euston to Manchester Piccadilly on Tuesday morning.
Members of the train’s crew said the eye-catching paint job and the staffing selection is a “sign of the steps we’re taking towards a more inclusive, diverse and equal society”.
“Being a part of the UK’s first all-LGBT+ crew is a sign of the steps we’re taking towards a more inclusive, diverse and equal society and I am so proud to be involved today.”
Inside, the train will be filled with posters and literature for passengers and will feature Pride-related information and facts during the onboard announcements.
“It is a symbol of our commitment to diversity and inclusion as it travels up and down the West Coast Main Line.
“We live proud 365 days a year, not just today.
“I am so proud to be a part of a business where our people represent the communities we serve.”
