Northern seeks adopters for 37 of its stations
seeking members of the Greater Manchester community to become adopters at a number of its stations.
Station adoption has become popular in recent years throughout the rail industry, with individuals and groups giving up some of their free time to keep stations looking tidy and cared for, and helping to create a sense of pride in local communities.
Northern has now produced a list of 37 stations in and around the Greater Manchester area where station adopters could make a difference.
Northern regional director Chris Jackson said: “Station adopters provide a vital link between Northern and the communities we serve. “They all do fantastic work at our stations, providing the best possible environment for our customers and local people alike.
“We’re very fortunate in the north to have so many people who care so deeply about the railway, and I’m incredibly grateful for all the time they donate and all the hard work that makes such a difference to the station environment. “Many of our stations have active adopters and ‘Friends of’ groups, but some don’t and we’re looking for community volunteers who are willing to give their time to help us make a difference for their community.”
