Video shows Plymouth train firm woman showing off football skills

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2Ph_qlnUIU

This is the moment an on-the-ball customer service ambassador showed off her impressive skills - when she was apparently caught off guard by a flying football.

The talented staff member was filming for a corporate video for employer Plymouth train company First Great Western when she almost came a cropper as a bystander kicked the ball her way.

But, she showcased her surprising soccer skills as she caught the ball mid-air, performed three kick-ups before booting the ball back to the youth.

First Great Western were so impressed with the display of customer prowess they uploaded the performance to their YouTube channel.

James Davies, a spokesman for First Great Western, said: "With 36 new customer ambassadors at stations across our network, our helpful and friendly staff are on hand. Whether they're providing customers with help and guidance on anything from travel advice to local information or expertly dealing with the unexpected, they are always in control."

William Huskisson MP▸ (Member of Parliament) was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830.  Many more have died in the same way since then.  Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
