WELCOME ABOARD!

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, Govia Thameslink Railway is looking forward to welcoming people back to Brighton & Hove Pride this month

) The dedicated team at Brighton Station have spent the last few months getting ready for Brighton & Hove Pride and there will be plenty of staff on-hand during the weekend to help people get home safely.

Once again, Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) will have its own float at the parade, which has been designed by the company’s LGBT+ network and will be fronted by volunteers from across the business.

Although Brighton & Hove Pride is a big event for GTR, the company has a year-round commitment to diversity and inclusion. The internal LGBT+ network focuses on education for colleagues and providing a safe space at work where people can talk and ask questions in an open environment.

GTR employs a dedicated D&I Partner, whose responsibilities include delivering the diversity and inclusion strategy, implementing recruitment schemes that help to build a more diverse workforce, supporting various employee groups (including the LGBT+, Women’s and Race Equality Networks) and working with the business to make GTR an inclusive and welcoming environment for all colleagues.

All GTR managers have completed Unconscious Bias training and Inclusive Leadership training is being rolled out over the next year. In addition, e-learning modules on the subject of diversity and inclusion are in development for all employees, covering topics like the nine legally protected characteristics, defining bullying and harassment, and other baseline knowledge on which to build an understanding of a diverse and inclusive workplace.

Like many industries – the railway still has a long way to come, but GTR is dedicated to supporting its thriving LGBTQ+ community and making the railway inclusive for all.

What a drag! Govia Thameslink Railway recruits Miss Jason and Lola Lasagne ahead of Brighton & Hove Pride

To add some pizazz to travel messages ahead of Brighton & Hove Pride, GTR has enlisted the help of two of Brighton’s most iconic drag queens.

Stephen Richards and Jason Sutton – better known as Lola Lasagne and Miss Jason – have both been part of the UK drag scene for over 25 years. With unique and recognisable voices, the rail operator snapped them up to record specialedition station announcements in the week leading up to Pride, from Monday, August 1.

The all-star announcements act as a reminder that the event is taking place, whilst encouraging people to check before they travel and plan their journeys carefully. On Saturday, August 6 in particular, there will be specific messages about the rainbow queueing system at the station to help those leaving the event find the right queue for their journey.

Ryan Massen, Southern Station Manager at Brighton and part of GTR’s Pride-planning team, said: “Brighton & Hove Pride is an event we look forward to every year at GTR and we

can’t wait to welcome it back to the city next weekend. We’re doing lots to help people travel safely by train and we thought, ‘What better way to spread our travel messages this year than with the help of two well-known and much-loved drag performers?’

“If you’re waiting for a train in the southern part of our network, then listen closely to station announcements from Monday, August 1 as you may just hear a voice you recognise! Lola Lasagne and Miss Jason have been fabulous; we can’t wait to see them at the event.”

GTR has confirmed it will be running an enhanced service across Southern, Gatwick Express and Thameslink over Pride weekend, with extra staff at Brighton station to help festival-goers travel safely.

The operator is also bringing back the colourcoded queueing system introduced in 2019. Customers wishing to travel on the Brighton Main Line towards London will be instructed to follow the blue queue, those who need to use the West Coastway should use the purple queue and people who live on the East Coastway can follow the green queue.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY XIO.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY NAMI.

NAMI, WHAT I’M ABOUT TO TELL YOU DOESN’T MEAN THAT I DON’T LOVE YOU.

BUT YOU ARE OBSESSED WITH THAT ORGANIZATION THIS IS NOT THE LIFE I DREAMED OF WHEN WE PLANNED ON GOING AWAY.

I CAN’T LIVE LIKE THIS FOREVER, NOR CAN YOU.

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL UP YOUR SLEEVE.

YOU DO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU, AND THIS IS WHY I AM HERE; FOR YOU.

YOU ARE HERE FOR BOTH OF US; FOR OUR FUTURE. I WON’T LET ANYONE GET IN THE MIDDLE.

IF YOU CONTINUE TO TAKE THEIR MONEY AND RESOURCES, YOU ARE MAKING MORE ENEMIES.

THIS ORGANIZATION IS DANGEROUS, YOU HAVE SEEN WHAT THEY ARE CAPABLE OF. HOW ABOUT WE LEAVE ALL OF THIS BEHIND?

I CAN’T STOP. I WON’T STOP. PEOPLE LIKE THEM ARE WHY WE ARE HERE. THEY ABUSE VULNERABLE PEOPLE WITH THEIR POWER, TARGETING THE POOR, THE WEAK.

I AM SO CLOSE TO FINDING OUT THEIR TRUE AGENDA , AND WHEN I DO, I’M GOING TO BRING THEM DOWN. EVIL CANNOT EXIST FOREVER.

THEN GO. TURN THIS OFF, LET ME GO.

LISTEN TO YOU! WHAT HAVE YOU BECOME?! THIS ISN’T THE NAMI I FELL IN LOVE WITH.

PEOPLE CHANGE. THEY CHANGED US. THEIR HATE CHANGED EVERYTHING.

I CAN’T BE THAT NAMI AGAIN BECAUSE THE DREAMS OF THAT NAMI HAVE BEEN DESTROYED BY EVIL PEOPLE OF HIS WORLD.

LET ME BE FREE, BECAUSE I DON’T WANT TO TAKE PART IN THIS NEW LIFE OF YOURS, I BELONG TO YOUR OLD LIFE.

I DIDN’T ASK YOU TO DO WHAT YOU DID THAT DAY.

I DO WHAT I HAVE TO DO FOR THE PERSON THAT I LOVE.

THEN, IF YOU LOVE ME, LET ME GO. YOU BELONG TO ME! YOU BELONG TO OUR LOVE!

NO! NAMI WAIT! DON’T DO THIS AGAIN, PLEASE NOT AGAIN.

XIO, PLEASE DON’T CRY. I KNOW IT GETS HARD SOMETIMES BUT WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER, THIS IS OUR WORLD WE CAN MAKE IT PERFECT.

THIS IS NOT THE REAL WORLD, YOU BROUGHT ME HERE AGAINST MY OWN WILL.

I BROUGHT YOU HERE?! LET ME REMIND YOU OF WHAT HAPPENED TO US.

LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID TO US!

THE NAMI I LOVED WOULD HAVE NEVER PUT ME THROUGH THIS. SAVED ME? THIS IS WHAT BEING ALIVE FEELS LIKE?? DEATH SOUNDS BETTER TO ME. QUIET AND PEACEFUL.

I HAD A LIFE PLANNED FOR US. BUT THEY TOOK IT AWAY. LIKE WE DIDN’T MATTER.

THE NAMI YOU LOVED SAVED YOU FROM DYING THAT DAY!

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? TO DIE AGAIN?

LIKE THIS?

THEIR HATE TOWARDS US, FOR BEING GAY, TOOK YOUR LIFE, AND WITH YOURS, MINE WAS TAKEN TOO.
