Narguis Horsford, a London overground train driver
Narguis has worked for TFL for 10 years and driven London Overground trains for five, covering the route between Willesden Junction and Stratford, and Gospel Oak to Barking.
She lives alone in Bounds Green, north London, and has to get up early as some of her shifts start at 1:30 am.
Despite being on the front line and having to isolate herself from her grandmother, she doesn’t feel nervous about her job.
She’s based at a depot in Willesden Junction, north-west London, and drives two routes: Stratford to Richmond/Clapham Junction and Gospel Oak to Barking.
She said: ‘I don’t feel anxious about going to work, but I still have to distance myself from my family because, obviously, I’m out here and I’m on the front line. They do worry, especially my grandmother. This has certainly shown us that life is short. And we can’t take anything for granted. I can’t see myself doing anything else.’
While they are in fact important for our society, they don't risk their life. The featured workers are called essential workers because we need them outside doing their job. Home office workers are doing their part, but that's it.
