Nexus has announced that Tyneside’s senior clergyman has sent out a special message for the workers who are keeping the line open for all the keyworkers and to say thank you during the lockdown.

The Dean of Newcastle, The Very Revd Geoff Miller, has made a video message saying thank you for the people who worked on the local transport over the Easter weekend

A lot of local transport has had to run during the lockdown to make sure that the keyworkers have been able to get to work. Additionally, the NHS staff need to have all the right equipment they need to help us all fight the current pandemic we are in.

What did the officials say?

Revd Miller said:

“I’m really grateful to be given this chance to wish you well, and most especially, on behalf of us all, to thank you. To thank transport workers, who on buses, Metros and ferries, keep things moving, even at times like these.

“No longer half asleep in the morning while I in future catching a train, without calling to mind so many behind the scenes who make this happen.

“Please be assured, you are in our thoughts, and if you’ll let me, I’d like to send you a message of gratitude, and offer a prayer for God’s gracious blessing, on you and your families. And soon, I hope to be topping up my Pop card, and minding the step.”
