Greater Anglia and its community rail partnerships today launch a series of podcasts celebrating the people and places of East Anglia.

‘Lives on the Lines’ invites listeners to take an audible journey to discover majestic coastlines, the phenomenal wildlife of broads and fens, breathtaking cathedral cities and magical market towns of Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk - and meet the people that make them such unique and special places to live, work and visit.

Rail stations in East Anglia are increasingly becoming havens for local wildlife thanks to the efforts of volunteers who have transformed land the equivalent of five Olympic-sized swimming pools into thriving gardens.

Greater Anglia’s team of station adopters – who help to look after their rail stations for the benefit of their communities – increased the total area of station garden across the network by 14% last year and devoted much of it to creating wildlife friendly areas.

Diss station is to receive some extra TLC from a local volunteer.
