Greater Anglia is seeking an Adopter for Cromer rail station to help improve links with the community and listen to feedback about how well the station is serving passengers.
The voluntary role involves regularly visiting the station, reporting back to the train operator on any issues that arise and coming up with ideas on how the station could be improved to create a welcoming environment for passengers.
The Adopt-A-Station initiative, now in its ninth year, has resulted in over 100 volunteers around the network adopting their local stations and is aimed at improving lines of communication between the train operator and railway station users, promoting and encouraging feedback about the station buildings and facilities to help ensure that they meet the high standards expected by those who use them.
Many adopters now get involved with initiatives such as gardening, helping with special event trains or running promotional stalls, as part of their efforts to improve the environment at their local station and promote their local routes.
Greater Anglia’s Partnerships Manager, Geraint Hughes, said, “The commitment that our adopters make is an important part of the railway's links with the communities it serves. Our thanks go to those who have had such a positive influence on Cromer station in the past, and we look forward to working with new adopters at this important Norfolk station.”
Anyone interested in becoming a Station Adopter at Cromer should contact Geraint Hughes via email: [email protected] or by telephone on 020 7904 4151.
