The Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership is celebrating its success for the third year running in championing green travel and bringing communities together.

With projects ranging from breastfeeding-friendly trains to gardening projects at stations, the rail partnership has recently been awarded accreditation and a badge of excellence for encouraging people to take the train rather than drive.

Other projects include a campaign encouraging people to explore the great outdoors along the Cambridge line and supporting Duke of Edinburgh volunteers.

Cllr Susan van de Ven, chair of the Community Rail Partnership, said: "We’re delighted that the Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton Community Rail Partnership has been accredited for the third year running and are proud of the varied projects which support train use.

"Travelling by train is not only much better for the environment than driving a car but also a totally different way to experience a journey.

"In addition, a lot of hard work goes into ensuring we have beautiful stations and platform areas and we’d like to say a big thank you to the many volunteers who make this happen."

The partnership is hosted by South Cambs District Council and funded by Govia Thameslink Railway and Melbourn, Meldreth, Shepreth and Foxton parish councils.
