Three Goodgymmers went to help the garden maintenance team at Great Central Railway's Leicester North station at Birstal. Now that it's summer, they have 2 trains per hour running to this teminal station. Jen, Jimmy and Nick got straight onto trimming back the bushes and brambles that overhang the platform wall, and snag on the bunting along the length of the platform. The GCR team were very.grateful that we had tidied it up in one session. Jen emptied her drink bottle and refilled it with juicy blackberries from the removed brambles. The steam train was a great sight coming into the station then swapping the engine to the other end for the return journey with lots of passengers enjoying a trip on this hot sunny day.
