Amy Stevens broke down barriers last May, becoming the first Big Issue vendor to sell the magazine in a rail station, on a pitch at London’s bustling Euston.
In partership with The Big Issue Foundation, Network Rail provided customer service training, and Amy, 28, was a winner with commuters.
But she has blown the whistle on Euston, and today she departed on the Hogwarts Express for King’s Cross and a new pitch beside the Muggles hotspot at Harry Potter’s Platform 9 3/4!
“I’ve had a great time selling at Euston and would like to thank everybody for being so friendly,” said Amy, who has previously worked in Angel and Tower Hill. “I’m really looking forward to selling the magazine by the Harry Potter shop.”
King’s Cross station manager Laura Murphy added: “We haven’t had anything like this, we’re really excited to welcome Amy and The Big Issue to our concourse.”
