Celebrating Success Award Winners


Train 2000's Celebration of Success Awards at Aintree Racecourse proved to be a winning event all round.

The Awards ceremony was opened by Councillor Gary Millar before a welcome from Train 2000 Chair, Pat Shea-Halson (both pictured with Train 2000 Executive Director Maggie O'Carroll).
