Every year, volunteers from the Market Rasen Station Adoption Group (MRSAG) look for new ways to brighten the station platforms and give a warm welcome to those arriving by train.
This year is no exception, with new wall art and a purple-themed planting scheme to reflect the Queen’s jubilee.
The waiting room has a train-themed quilt on display, created by Pat Benson and framed by Brian Oxborrow, while the platform has a ‘Tommy’, which has been paid for by the town’s Lions Club.
President Lis Eastburn said: “We are delighted to have been able to donate this Tommy silhouette, supporting the MRSAG and the Royal Biritish Legion – two excellent causes.”
A new sponsor for the station is Gallamore Lane’s Cema Lighting, with three staff members visiting the station to talk to the volunteers on planting day.
"As a business we are pleased to support the station and give something back to our community”, said Matthew Foster.
Ashley Varley added: “It is one of the nicest stations I have ever seen.”
MRSAG Chairman John Pope said: “We expected to have less this year because of the recession but we are doing really well.
"The Co-op has supported us this year through their community scheme and we are pleased to welcome Cema Lighting.
"They have been very generous – and quick. It took just half an hour from us speaking to them to the money being in our account.
John added: "We depend on this support to get the station looking its best and it is nice to know people appreciate the work we do.”
