two of our large barrels at
the Clarendon Road
Platform One entrance.

Any Information could be useful.

WE STILL NEED MORE VOLUNTEERS TO ASIST WITH
THE WATERING OF OUR NEW PLANTS,
THIS COULD BE OCCASIONAL OR

FCS will be running a SURVEY on rail transport between the three town corridor in early MAY. If you could spend a couple of hours just once, or even more, we would like to hear from you. The times needed can very often be worked around your own times. If you are interested in helping to gain the information to keep your transport system working to that which you want in your area, please contact Fred on 07901773276, Chairman of FCS.
Many Thanks.
We are now closed on Platform 2 until further notice in the Tea Room due to shortage of volunteers. We are very please for your past custom and look forward to bringing you more services in due course, Thank you all again, we have raised some money to go towards the new floral displays for the spring planting and thank you all for your support.
Fred, Chairman FCS.

Thank you all again for all your support.



We are still looking for more volunteers, to assist us to maintain the floral displays or coffee  shop on the station, so if you know of anyone who would like to assist in anyway, (this is not intended to take a lot of time or effort, but often at times to suit yourselves), please do get in touch with Fred (Chairman) on 07901 773276

OVER THIS PERIOD OF BAD WEATHER
We have been opening up for Hot Food
Tea and Coffee, Savories, Sweets and Fruit
to help our customers from waiting
too long in the cold on the Station.
Our times are various due to staffing
by our volunteers who also
have travel difficulties.
We hope you will be able to bear with us
over this period.
If you would like to assist us by volunteering,
please contact
Fred on 07901 773276
