Great Western Railway- @GWR (Great Western Railway) and Network Rail are encouraging customers and colleagues to take time out for a cuppa as they partner with Samaritans for its annual Brew Monday campaign.

To help raise awareness, GWR staff will be joining Samaritans volunteers at Bath Spa and Chippenham railway stations, handing out teabags and chatting to passengers about the power of connecting over a cuppa.
