April 2014
Northern Rail’s
Extended Franchise began on 1st April and runs until February 2016.
We congratulate
Northern on securing this extension.
Thank you for the many comments about the flowers on the station’s Embankment garden! We hope to have a comments card available soon!
Our first maintenance session of 2014 of the Embankment Garden in co-operation with Network Rail, is scheduled for Sunday 13th April at 06.00.
Work to replace the two boarded up windows should begin shortly following a generous grant from the Railway Heritage Trust. Northern has issued a contract for this work.
The Poetry Platform: The next display will commemorate The Great War. Poems have been selected by Penny Greenwood and the display has been created and designed by Paul Marsh. As a mark of respect it is our intention to invite appropriate dignitaries to the opening of this display.
The Station Art Gallery: We welcome a new display by two local artists, Doreen Ball and Norma Creed. Their pictures may be purchased.
The next Folk Train is on 24th April when GEOFF HIGGINBOTTOM returns to give us his rendition of local and classic folk songs in the performance which was postponed from February.
There are no walks on the Glossop line for the next quarter but plenty the choose from on the Hope Valley and Buxton Lines. Pick up a leaflet for more details from the station.
