Responding to the Bedford train crash RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Professor Nicola Ranger said:

“Our thoughts and wishes are with all of those affected by this tragic incident, particularly with the family, friends and colleagues of the driver who lost his life.

“We also send our thanks to the first responders who acted so quickly, including the nursing staff, some of whom came in whilst off duty to care for the injured. They no doubt worked under very challenging circumstances to care for all those affected.”
