London Midland has changed the platform signs, known as running in boards, at six of its stations in honour of gold medal winners.

The train operator has also launched a programme, known as Your Sporting Chance, aimed at promoting the health of young people by providing sports kit and equipment for youth/junior sports teams nominated by London Midland employees.

London Midland commercial director, Richard Brooks said “We want to celebrate a great summer of sport but we also want to help future sporting stars. Your Sporting Chance empowers and encourages our colleagues to get more involved with the 150 communities we serve across the country. We hope the gold running in boards will also inspire more young people too aim for the stars.”
