This week & next we're working with Project Education Felixstowe teaching kids about rail travel. For some it was their 1st time on a train. They learnt about safety/screens/tickets/doors/the conductor. @ The Railway Inn Westerfield they played crazy golf! Then back to Felixstowe

Trimley is looking terrific thanks to Tom! He's the long-time station adopter volunteer (more than 10 years!) who has made the station garden what it is today! There's no water source so Tom fills up and takes water to the station; now that's dedication!

A lovely bunch of folks took part in our free station walk this past Friday! 46 humans and 2 dogs made the trek from #Lowestoft to Oulton Broad South; many continued to @SWTCarltonMarsh café. It's one of the most interesting walks we do; the landscape changes every few minutes.

Many stations on the line are adorned with Daffodils; Ipswich station is no exception. You can find them in the memorial garden on the island platform(3/4). The Community Rail Partnership has also provided funding for the lovely flowers you'll see at the buffer stop @ Platform 1.

Wonderful Daffodils carpet the station garden @greateranglia Westerfield. They were planted by Sandy several years back when she became the station adopter there and transformed the space from scrub and nettles to the lovely scene you see today. Aren't they fantastic?!

Meteorological Spring is just 6 days away and the flowers @greateranglia #Ipswich station know it! Aren't they lovely? They were planted and are cared for by rail officer Thalia. You can see them at the memorial garden on the island platform near the tunnel end of the station.
