A striking portrait of a Network Rail employee was unveiled at London Euston station on Tuesday 15 July. Manny Kang was captured on canvas for the exceptional care and commitment he brings to his role as a community safety manager on the Central route, connecting the West Midlands and London.<\/p>\n

The special portrait, on display for one day only, formed part of the \u2018Partner Zone\u2019 coach of the Railway 200 exhibition train named Inspiration \u2013 celebrating the 200th anniversary of the modern railway.<\/p>\n

Curated in partnership with the National Railway Museum, Inspiration will visit a number of locations on Britain\u2019s rail network until summer 2026. The touring exhibition aims to attract the next generation to consider a career in rail, with a range of engaging display themes from \u2018Railway Firsts\u2019 to \u2018Your Railway Future\u2019.<\/p>\n

Community safety managers, like Manny, play a vital role helping to deliver a safe and reliable railway. This includes going out to local schools and community groups supporting the public to understand the dangers of trespassing on the railway, keeping them safe and trains on the move. Outside work, Manny has raised thousands of pounds for Dementia UK by completing sporting challenges and running \u2018Samosa Saturdays\u2019 outside his local football ground.<\/p>\n
