Our community volunteers and their canine companions have been back at it at @StyalStation this morning! Great work by the team, doing more gardening. @northernassist @C2MCRP @CommunityRail @BestKeptStation
Another amazing day at @northernassist Styal Station: Heritage station sign erected. Nesting boxes installed. New planter. Our mural to admire. Bunting put up for VE Day anniversary. A fantastic effort by all involved.
Today's work party at Styal is underway - with wonderful assistance from @nationaltrust volunteers from Quarry Bank.
The stage is set… 🎊 Our guests have arrived… 🥂 Let the celebrations commence! 🥳 #CRA25 @LumoTravel #CommunityRailAwards
Spring has sprung! 🌷 Huge thanks to our amazing volunteers who brighten our stations with flowers & support wildlife with bug hotels & wild gardens. On #WorldWildlifeDay, let's celebrate their efforts for nature & our community. 🌍💚 #SpringVibes #CommunityRailPartnership
Stations are more than stops—they’re community hubs! 🚉✨ Follow us to see how we’re transforming stations, sharing local stories, and strengthening connections. Be part of the journey! 🌟 #CommunityRailPartnership #ConnectingCommunities #FollowOurJourney
Stockport Station is home to a gallery of stories! 🎨✨ The “Views through a Train Window” artwork celebrates the beauty of journeys and the community that surrounds them. Take a moment to explore these pieces next time you pass through. 🚉💕 #StockportArt #CRP
Tomorrow, Saturday, everyone is invited to join us as we do litter-picking and planting at Styal Station, from 10-12. Let's make our local @northernassist station even better 🤝
Amazing work by our @StyalStation volunteers to make this @northernassist station a fantastic gateway to the village
