Playtime at Glossop Station?

Well not quite!! On Monday 23rd Neil, with Theo's help, hosted a visit by an Infant Class from the Duke of Norfolk School in Glossop. Emma Harvey, Year One teacher had asked whether a visit and a little trip by train might be possible - transport is a current theme - and thus it was arranged! A crocodile of 29 yellow jacketed 5 year olds, plus Adults - Emma, Marian, Beccy, Oliver's Dad, Madame Harvey and Neil set out for the station at 9.30 from the school. Happy excited children!! And Adults too!! Arriving at the station the children waved to Dave and Keith in the booking office before posing for a Chronicle photo with Editor, David Jones. Boarding the 9.52 to Hadfield and back Emma and Marian made the most of what could be viewed from the windows as well as taking in action photos! The children also had their apples as a healthy snack en route and good habits were inculcated by Emma insisting all cores were put in a bag! On returning to the station the children gathered in the waiting rooms where Neil pointed out some of the relevant historical  pictures. Questions were asked..... Who? Where? Why? and answered and some of the children spotted other faces that they knew in the FOGS' montage - particularly from last year's storytelling train shots. The visit concluded with a look at the famous bell outside the station and, of course, our iconic lion. What do you think we should call him? Neil asked.  "Louise!"  was one answer - as bit different to the expected Leo! Lots of appreciated comments about the attractive look of the station. We think it was a success because by 11.00 that day 2 more teachers had asked for the same trip the following week!! Theo has kindly agreed to this and Neil is to assist along with Matthew. Our thanks to Theo for setting this up and to Dave and Keith's  practical help/support on the day
