I write to assure Mr Robert Cooper (Letters 26 January) that we have not removed any staff from our trains, and we have no plans to do so.

On the contrary: since we introduced the role of on board supervisor over a year ago we now have more safety-trained staff. Our on board supervisors’ primary role is to help all passengers, especially those with mobility difficulties, to have an enjoyable and safe journey.
