February 2020
THE GOVERNMENT has announced that the current Northern franchise operated by Arriva will be terminated at the end of this month. From 1st March a nationalised company Northern Trains will be responsible for trains, services and stations. There will be no change to the current timetables. We will publicise relevant details as and when known. We will strive as always to form an effective partnership with the new company.
WE ARE DELIGHTED that our historical displays and community art work are reappearing in the Waiting Room. Due to the new electrical conduits a lot of extra work, carried out by John and Eric, has been necessary to attach the backing boards to the walls. We are having a rethink about how to show what we do as a display – hence one blank wall at present!
A NEW ENVIRONMENTALLY friendly water dispenser provided by Northern available free for use in the Waiting Room.
NEXT FOLK TRAIN: Thursday 27th January Geoff Higginbottom
NEXT GUIDED WALK: Bleaklow Midwinter Saturday 15th February
NEXT FoGS MEETING: starting at the station Tuesday 18th February 19.30
BUS SERVICES to Holme Moss and Holmfirth continue to run in the winter Friday morning 10.35 Saturday morning 9.00.
