Hindley station given makeover by volunteers

Volunteers from Northern, construction company Kier and Network Rail assembled at Hindley station for a day of action.   

The team spent time litter-picking, tidying up the platforms and surrounding areas as well as clearing weeds.  

They also planted roses in the community garden at the station. 

Craig Harrop, regional director at Northern said: “I’d like to thank everyone who volunteered to spend the day at Hindley.    

“Our community partners are the heartbeat of the railway and we’re extremely proud to work closely with them to deliver such a wide-ranging positive impact for the North of England.”     

On Sunday 10 December, rail timetables across the North of England will change in line with the rest of the National Rail network. Customers are encouraged to use the ‘Check My Timetable’ feature on the Northern website for more information about their local station.  

Northern is the second largest train operator in the UK, with 2,500 services a day to more than 500 stations across the North of England.
