Award for train cleaner who found family’s missing Games tickets
A train cleaner at Liverpool Street station who volunteered to sort through its bins to find a family’s missing Olympics tickets has been given a ‘Champions’ award by Greater Anglia.
The mother and son realised they had mislaid their tickets on their way to Stratford, and re-traced their steps, working out they could have been left with other rubbish on a train from Liverpool Street.
Giarracco managed to find the tickets and Greater Anglia’s customer service director Andrew Goodrum said: “Gaspare really is a champion; he’s gone the extra mile to ensure a customer’s once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Games could go ahead. His actions exemplify what good customer service is all about; he is a great role-model for us all.”
His manager Suzanne Geiger, who nominated him for special ‘Champions’ award, given by Greater Anglia in recognition of those who have made a particularly significant contribution to the smooth running of services during the Games.
