Network Rail sparks furore for ‘removing terms like pilot and banker in favor of gender-neutral language’

Network Rail has been criticized for ‘virtue signaling’ for allegedly introducing job titles and phrases in gender-neutral language for its staff.

The railway company reportedly instructed staff to sign a form confirming that it would observe new gender-neutral terms, such as “manually controlled level crossing” instead of “crewed level crossing”.

But a source said Sun the new rules made the company look like a ‘laughing stock’ and branded them ‘crazed wokery’.

Staff have also reportedly been told to use gender-neutral terms such as “traffic chief” instead of “banker” and “pilot” instead of “pilot”.

The source told the Sun: ‘These changes are from a long list of demands concocted by higher-ups to be more in line with the times.

The railway company reportedly instructed staff to sign a form to confirm that they would observe new gender-neutral terms such as “manually controlled level crossing” instead of “manned level crossing”.
