On a mission to evoke the atmosphere of a country railway station, volunteers from the Spetisbury Station Project have been busy making the site attractive to visitors.

They have installed new replica signs, one that welcomes visitors at the foot of the steps leading from the lane to the platform, and another showing the location of the signal box.
Sadly, and not for the first time, the station was recently targeted by vandals who damaged platform furniture, so more local volunteers are always needed to help them maintain and care for their lovely station.

“We are a friendly bunch of people and helpers can find information www.spetisburystationprject.co.uk,” says volunteer, Kevin Mitchell.
