You’ll find our volunteer navvy interpreter Bob at Kidderminster station every week and he’s excited about the prospect of a canopy for the station platform:

“It’s going to be a great improvement. I’ve had to direct people down the platform, in wheelchairs and so on, in the pouring rain. When we have the canopy, we’ll be able to get everyone on the train, in the dry. That will make a big, big difference.”
