Meet Margareth - service host at VR
Hello Margareth!
Who are you?
My name is Margareth and I am a happy and positive woman with youngsters and a husband. I love to interact with people and help them on their journeys to and from Stockholm. As a person, I am a curious problem solver. One of my hidden talents is that I have a blue belt in taekwondo. During the pandemic, I developed an interest in knitting socks. The more colors, the more fun to knit.
How would you describe your job?
My job is to, together with my team, take passengers from A to B as safely and punctually as possible.
I help the driver with departures and our passengers with their journey. I verify tickets if needed and make them feel comfortable on board. In Plus and 1 Class Plus we serve a light meal, coffee and sweets. I am also in charge to make sure our toilets are in a good condition and make sure the trip runs as smooth and comfortable as possible for all passengers.
You can also find me in the café in car B where I welcome hungry passengers with food, snacks and beverages. You can always ask me if you have any questions or concerns.
What is the best with your job?
The best things with VR are my colleagues I work with as we are like one big family and also all fantastic passengers I get the pleasure to meet every day to make sure they get the most out of their journey. It is a true luxury to enjoy all the different seasons and weather every single journey offers and to watch sunrise or sunset each day at work.
What is your best job memory?
I have several fun memories experienced on board. One of these was when we went on the first trip to Halmstad, one of our summer destinations. A large crowd of people met up on the platform and gave us a warm welcome that made us feel like celebrities.
Sometimes we also get the exclamations somewhat wrong, hopefully you enjoy this as much as we do!
Why should you apply for a job as a service host at VR?
Because we are a fantastic team that learns from each other every day. We have a lot of fun together and we are a company that encourage constant change and challenges.
