Rural Idyll
16 Sep 2005
Wessex Trains, has teamed up with the National Trust’s Rural Stations Project to see two more of its stations adopted.
Over 30 Wessex Trains stations are now part of the project. Bugle on the Atlantic Coast Line to Newquay and Lostwithiel on the Cornish mainline will benefit from volunteers undertaking gardening projects and keeping a weather eye on the stations.
Wessex Trains’ ‘Adopt Your Station’ scheme aims to encourage local people to get involved with their station. Restormel Borough Council has also been involved, giving support to these and other local station projects in the local area.
Andrew Griffiths, Business Manager Devon & Cornwall of Wessex Trains, said, “The station gardens project is a great idea, very popular with our passengers and an excellent means of getting communities more involved with their local station.”
