station flowertubs

mmm... the area railway manager, alan neville alan.neville@nationalexpress.com came to the parish council to talk about various things - including the new trains to London being introduced, which look pretty good. He also floated the idea of some group adopting the station and helping look after it - perhaps a bit of planting, a bit of sponsorship. We'll have to see.

I'd like to think that the station staff team down there should do this, aided in terms of crime and vandalism prevention by the Transport Police, but the days of the porter watering the flower baskets are long gone. Perhaps the guy who checks the car park to make sure people have paid the huge fees levied by NCP could do a bit of weeding. Doubt it. In the meantime, I'm chasing up whoever needs to fix the broken glass from the phonebox down there.
