THE TRACKS TO RECOVERY

ABOUT THE DOCUMENTARY

When a rail fatality occurs, who are our immediate thoughts usually for?

The victim, their family, their friends?

​

What about the unsuspecting and powerless driver, when do we think of them? And what support is available to assist in their recovery?

The Tracks to Recovery is a seven minute documentary exploring the journey to recovery two train drivers took after witnessing suicide at work and the support available to them afterwards. 

​

The piece, aimed at BBC Outlook, aims to highlight the support out there for train drivers following a railway fatality so that they know that they are not alone and they can and will get better. 

​

BBC Outlook describe their podcasts as being “inspirational stories of amazing people defying the odds, reacting to extreme adversity by doing good, improving lives and very often saving them”.

I hope that my documentary will inspire train drivers to seek help if they are struggling with trauma.
