c2c’s Trevor Blows Final Whistle after 48 Years on the Rails

c2c’s Trevor Capps – a familiar figure at London Fenchurch Street station - is retiring after over 48 years working in the rail industry.

Trevor joined the railway in 1963 at Southend East station. For the majority of his career he has worked on station platforms, looking after train despatch and customer service, though he has also enjoyed stints working in the ticket office and as a shunter.

Trevor has always had a keen interest in the railway and joined the industry straight from school. He has always loved the variety of the job, with no two days the same and is intrigued by the many changes he has seen in the rail industry over the years, from new signalling systems to rolling stock.

Julian Drury c2c’s Managing Director said “Trevor is an integral part of our Fenchurch Street team and he will be missed. I would like to thank him for the loyalty and commitment he has shown c2c over the years and wish him a very happy retirement.”

Trevor is a keen DIY enthusiast and hopes to spend more time when he retires working on his home; he is also looking forward to getting out and about on the rails more himself, travelling around the country.
