Framed Print of Asquith Xavier in his new job as a guard at Euston Station, London
Asquith Xavier in his new job as a guard at Euston Station, London.
The story - In 1966: Euston staff colour bar ended
A West Indian refused a job at Euston Station will now be employed there after managers overturned a ban on black workers. Two months ago Asquith Xavier, a train guard from Dominica, was refused a transfer from Marylebone Station to Euston because of his colour.
The new job would have meant a pay increase of around £ 10 a week for Mr Xavier who started work for British Railways (BR) as a porter 10 years ago.He was informed about his rejection and the reason for it in a letter from Eustons local staff committee whose members belong to the National Union of Railwaymen (NUR).
However, at a news conference on Friday BR spokesman Leslie Leppington said the colour bar at Euston Station had now been ended and Mr Xavier would be given a job.
