Volunteers contribute thousands of hours supporting the Tyne Valley Railway each year. They get involved in so many ways.
Members of the station adoption groups go the extra mile to make stations a welcoming place, tending the gardens and tubs, picking up litter, and so much more. Volunteers at Riding Mill, and other stations, have been busy this week prpearing the tubs for the summer bedding displays.
Many of you will have seen the artwork which has been installed at stations along the route, the inspiration of the adoption teams working with local schools and youth groups. New artwork created by the children of Henshaw CoE Primary School is to be installed at Bardon Mill Station in the next dew weeks. Another volunteer, Anne, is currently designing the Welcome to Bardon Mill boards using the artwork.
The twice-yearly timetable change is another busy time for volunteers Here Robert, is putting the new departure time poster into the board at Prudhoe. As you know Northern no longer provide printed timetables and during recent years, we have produced a timetable booklet. This is only possible because of the efforts of another volunteer.
All the Directors of the Partnership are volunteers bringing a wealth of experience and range of skills to the organisation. Julie has been overseeing the work in the Water Tower as the plasterer, painter, electrician, plumber and joiner have been undertaking the work to transform the building into a cafe and crat centre. So happy to see that the lime mortar was curing on the chimney breast, she surprised the workers with some cake.
