Colleagues in our stations and customer experience teams spent their Community Day at St Helens Junction painting fences and cleaning the place up, following earlier works to improve the station environment. Thanks to all the team - what a real difference for our customers! ๐Ÿ’™

Thanks to Marc Wilson Network Rail and our own Barry Graham for an introduction to signalling today. Fascinating and humbling in equal measure to understand the complexity of railway signalling in all its forms, including the earlier generation here. Nice junction name too!
