We were ably hosted by the Station Adoption Group who do a fantastic job keeping the station bright and tidy, and by the Station Building Heritage Day Centre who provided refreshments. The whole place is a great example of heritage and community rail at its best.

We were pleased to give a grant to the Friends of Glazebrook Station - nr Warrington, built by the Cheshire Lines Committee - to restore their water fountain. It’s now completed and this before and after shows the difference that’s made to a small but decorative feature.

I’m visiting Springburn next week - does anyone know of any old (ie pre 1950) photos of the town-side facade of the station building? I’ve seen pictures of the platforms & rear of this building in the steam era but not the entrance facade. This is how it looked in 2024.
