Northern is on the lookout for community custodians to help care for stations across its network.
The train operator is keen to speak to groups of volunteers interested in adopting one of 21 stations across the region, which includes Widnes and Hough Green.
The full list of stations needing custodians is as follows:
Pleasington
Cherry Tree
Rose Grove
Burnley Barracks
Burnley Central
Burnley Manchester Road
Styal
Sankey for Penketh
Widnes
Hough Green
Burnage
East Disbury
Gatley
Heald Green
Trafford Park
Humphrey Park
Chassen Rd
Flixton
Halewood
West Allerton
Mossley Hill
Hundreds of adopters are already active across the network, working in partnership with Northern to keep stations tidy and well presented.
Craig Harrop, regional director at Northern, said: “Station adoption groups provide a vital link between Northern and the communities we serve, and they all do fantastic work at our stations, providing the best possible environment for our customers and local people alike.
“We’re very fortunate 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 these 21 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.”
