The Butterflies Bees and Cubs project at Westerfield Station continues apace. Clearing of the Ipswich-bound platform (to make way for plants in Spring 2021) has produced a large amount of twigs and branches. The station adopters have used the material to create a ‘dead hedge’ which will help with wildlife habitat conservation and eliminate the need to transport the green waste off-site, in turn reducing carbon emissions.

The Suffolk Gardeners Guild has gifted some tools to the station adopters to help with the project and Network Rail has provided a storage area for the tools right at the station; this will enable the adopters to walk or cycle instead of using a car to transport tools back and forth.

INDUSTRIAL ACTION is taking taking place in early May. Mon 6/5, and Wed 7/5 though Sat 11/5 most services will run but there will be some cancellations. On Tuesday 7/5 there will be a full strike; NO services on the East Suffolk Lines or the other local/regional routes will operate that day. Mainline services to/from London will be reduced.
