Broadway Area Group – Volunteering at Broadway Station Site

article by: John Blofield

Work started at the site of the demolished station at Broadway in March 2009, and so far (Jan 2013) has concentrated mainly on rebuilding the platforms. When sufficient funding becomes available there will be the station building, signal box, toilet block and car park to construct. How much of this will be done by volunteers and how much by contractors is as yet undecided. Some of our volunteers have experience in building and project management. Others have basic DIY skills, and have learned new skills on the job, so don't let a lack of relevant expertise put you off joining us. There is also some scope for less physically demanding work such as gardening or maintaining our contacts in the local area. We normally work on Wednesdays and Saturdays, so if you are interested in joining us pop along to the Broadway station site and have a chat.
