It's #CleanAirDay! Greater Anglia is reminding folks to switch off engines at level crossings.
Today volunteer station adopters held an Action Day event at #Westerfield level crossing, handing out leaflets, hoping to encourage drivers to #SwitchItOff

The gift that keeps on giving! These #daffodils at #Westerfield station spotted Sat 5/4 never disappoint. They're a sure bet each Spring & make the most cloudy of days sunshiny/bright but Saturday was anything but cloudy! Every bulb was planted by the volunteer adopters. @communityrail.bsky.social
A reminder about weekend engineering works 1 week from tomorrow. Buses replace trains #Halesworth - #Ipswich Sat 22/3 & Sun 23/3. Trains will run Halesworth - #Lowestoft. Only bikes that fold can be conveyed on the bus. The bus won't stop @ #Westerfield. Passengers should use the station help point.
This lovely photo was taken 22 May 1957 by R.C Riley with #Westerfield station in the background. The milk train (No. 61656, named Leeds United) @leedsunited.com was heading from the dairy at #Halesworth to #Ipswich. Reproduced by kind permission from Middleton Press.
CAN YOU HELP? As part of #railway200 we're working with the volunteer adopters @ #Westerfield to put together a booklet of stories, anecdotes, memories & photos of the station. If you've got any, please get in touch! We'd love to hear from you!

Halfway through winter! A lovely photo at #Westerfield this morning. A few weeks ago it would have been dark! The bulbs @ the station gardens @ Westerfield (thanks Sandy!) & #Ipswich (thanks Thalia!) know it's February & will soon grace us with an abundance of colours. @communityrail.bsky.social
