Full Description:

We are a group of volunteers hoping to bring a bit of joy to train passengers at the station. Over the years we have tamed large parts of the station and created a variety of landscapes of flowers, shrubs and anything else we can get to grow there. We have a number of wooden features created by the team members and a fairy garden. We regularly receive donations of plants and other items from the local community and are proud of the many comments of gratitude we receive from passengers on Sunday mornings.

We have a Facebook site, just look up ‘Friends of Westhoughton Station’.
