TCDD General Manager Uygun continued his work on the Ankara Zonguldak line in the second phase of the On-site Solution, On-site Transformation program at the “Safety Culture and Awareness Meetings”

He met with TCDD personnel. TCDD Deputy General Manager Metin Akbaş and TCDD Technical General Manager Murat Gürel also participated in the safety culture and awareness program.

During the meetings held on the Safety Culture and Awareness train, 3 provinces, 4 districts and 8 stations were visited. 2nd Regional Manager Mehmet Rahmi Gül gave information about the 420 km of roads, stations and works that are responsible for the Mobile Meeting train. Ongoing and new projects were discussed.

Uygun, who met with the personnel at the stations, shared TCDD's target and developments with the employees.

In his speech, Uygun said, “We want you to know that railway safety comes before railway operation. An unsafe business cannot be done. From the General Manager of TCDD and TCDD Taşımacılık AŞ to our friends working in the most remote corners, it is imperative that this awareness is acquired by this culture. The consequences of leaving this culture are painful. Our employee, our mechanic, our worker, our passenger is very important to us, they are our greatest value. Everyone will think of safety first in everything they do.” said.

Appropriate, “We are one. We are not separate. We are one as an institution, we are one as a country. The wheel cannot be separated from the rail, it is a whole. Every job we do will contribute to the development of our country. Working with a team spirit will give us a lot. We are TCDD all together,” he continued.

The Police and Training Train, which stopped by the Kurşunlu District during the program, was greeted by the Mayor Şakir Sayman. The treasurer thanked the General Managers Uygun and Pezük for their work. He wanted the continuation of the floors that TCDD made to the district.
