On Saturday 30th June Bunty and Neil crept down to the Station at 23.30 armed with a flask of coffee and patience! Their mission - to contact the contractors responsible for putting up the pigeon netting that night - a possession had been booked. Expecting a lonely vigil Bunty and Neil were pleasantly surprised to find the contractors under the supervision of our old friends Story Rail already at work. Chris Stirling of Story talked through the work and we asked that the 5 cords for the Hanging Baskets to remain in situ. This was agreed. Chris also said that the platform surface would be sealed, the yellow cross diagonals painted in front of the fire door and the lamp posts painted too.
Returning at 7.45 the following morning - John LeG there from 06.30! - we were very impressed with the quality of the work carried out. Effective but unobtrusive netting had been erected under the Canopy. And in the following days it has been a real pleasure not to have to deal with pigeon droppings on the platform! So far so good! The 5 baskets have been re hung with summer decorations
Our thanks to Story, TfGM and Northern for this work.
