In the current heatwave sensible station volunteers are like our stalwart Sandra who looks after @ChilternRailways #BirminghamMoorSt - here she is up early this morning to look after the lovely plants and display she maintains at Moor St #CommunityRail @HeartCRP
Lovely to see the #Shakespeare express storming along the Shakespeare Line at #TheLakes today with all the colours and dedicated work of the station volunteers on show on this summer’s Sunday
A lovely spring morning breaks with the sun’s rays shining spot on to the wonderful #Shakespeare statue & planter at #HenleyinArden ‘s brilliantly renovated and repurposed railway station
There’s no doubt about The Station at #HenleyinArden being successful! Last night’s carol singing demonstrates the community’s commitment.What a heartening sight & over £30K given out to local charities, good causes & station volunteers between #Birmingham & #StratforduponAvon
Great to have initiated & delivered in 2025 with GWR replica running in boards for 4 stations on our line #BirminghamMoorSt #SpringRoad #HenleyinArden & #Claverdon - Thanks for support from @NetworkRailBHM @WestMidRailway & @chilternrailway & #HenleyinArden SME @CreativeTouchUK

Great to see the new replacement GWR replica running in board go up this morning. Many thanks to @WestMidRailway & @CreativeTouchUK - for maintaining #HenleyinArden station in its GWR heritage

Finally got the #WilliamShakespeare at Birmingham Moor Street Station earlier while a quick look at the @railway200 train. I'd got the Shakespeare at Shirley and Henley-in-Arden at the end of May 2025.

The backstory of #CommunityRail is no better demonstrated than by the reaction of the community to the suspected arson of the outside area at #HenleyinArden Railway Station. Just 15 hours after the devastating event over £6000 has been raised & it was open tonight as usual 👍
A fabulous addition to #Birmingham Moor Street station with William #Shakespeare installed today by the station volunteers including the brother of a volunteer who is all the way from Perth, #Australia making #communityrail a worldwide cause 👍
What a brilliant demonstration of sustainability for a #communityrail initiative - Why travel to Ascot when you can enjoy Ladies Day at The Station #HenleyinArden !! A fabulous event - The Station goes from strength to strength

"To travel, or not to travel? That is the question!" 🎭Stratford-upon-Avon train station is now greeting passengers with amazing Shakespeare statues, transforming the journey into a tribute to the Bard! Spot them all along the line! #ShakespeareLine 🚉 networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…
ALT A group of 12 people, including what appear to be railway staff, community volunteers and students, pose on a train platform around a decorative planter. The planter features a large black silhouette of William Shakespeare, along with signage. The sign on the left of the planter has text that reads "A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM" and describes the play's plot. The sign on the right welcomes visitors to Stratford-upon-Avon, mentions the Shakespeare birthplace and includes a QR code. The platform has green foliage in the background.
We are so proud of all the volunteers along our line & the support of @NetworkRailBHM @WestMidRailway @chilternrailway & @HeartCRP in #CommunityRailWeek
'All the world's a stage' according to #Shakespeare- and now so is the route between #Birmingham Moor Street and #StratforduponAvon after a noble quest was completed to install statues and connect each station with a different Shakespeare play. networkrailmediacentre.co.uk…
