Rehana Khawaja has held a number of positions, including station manager and train dispatcher.

For some individuals their profession is above everything. The dedication they show at their workplaces, at times, becomes an inspirational tale for each one of us. Recently, a woman’s devotion to her job grabbed the attention of the online users. Chiltern Railways employee Rehana Ismat Khawaja’s commitment to her workplace has set a whole new standard. Her unique way of proving her adherence for her job by changing her name is raking in likes. Khawaja, who has worked at the London Marylebone station for 20 years, changed her middle name from Ismat to Marylebone, as per reports.

According to the reports, throughout her 20-year tenure with Chiltern Railways, Khawaja has frequently been based in Marylebone. She has held a number of positions, including station manager and train dispatcher. As the manager of security and safety for the operator, she presently works throughout the network, but she makes frequent trips back to Marylebone, reported the BorehamWood Times.

She told BorehamWood Times, “The station itself is not big, but it’s got a soul. The more I explored it over my time here, the more I was falling in love with it. It really does feel like a home away from home to me. We know that things go wrong sometimes, and people can get delayed. But everybody there works so hard with a smile on their face.”

She further added, “It’s got a personal touch. It’s warm and welcoming. Not every London station is like that. I love the building, I love the people, and I love the history of the station. When I got to manage the station, I felt like I was flying. I still feel like that when I’m there now. It’s such a huge part of my life, and now I’ll carry it with me officially, which is really exciting.”

Meanwhile, Vanessa Russell, HR director at the railways, was amazed after Khawaja changed her name. Russell told the BorehamWood Times, “I think it’s a testament to the importance of the station and the community feel it has. Compared to other London stations, Marylebone is small but mighty. It has a rich history, and I’m touched that the station has had such a tangible impact on Rehana’s life. Her pride in the station is utterly heart-warming.”
