On Thursday 1st October we celebrated Lincolnshire Day with live music at the White Swan in Barton. Friends of the Barton Line joined us to hear local musician, Tim Bartlett play and sing some beautiful tunes.
Our ever busy station adopters, HUSH (Habrough & Ulceby Station Helpers) have been working as hard as ever. They transformed a neglected telephone box on Platform 2 at Habrough station into a colourful, pollinator-friendly planter. Volunteers cleaned, painted and decorated the box, then built planters using donated and reused materials, keeping costs low. The project has improved the passenger environment, introduced seasonal colour and biodiversity, and created a welcoming station focal point. The project demonstrates how creative and sustainable improvements can deliver lasting environmental, passenger and community benefits.
On Thursday 20 August we held an afternoon tea at the White Swan to thank our fantastic volunteers and station adopters. The work the CRP does along the Barton lone would not be possible without them.
