About the Station Partnership
Posted: January 4, 2012 Filed under: About the Partnership, station partnership Leave a comment »What a great time we had at the Carol Sing – Monday 12 December at 17.00hrs - our junior school singers really welcomed the commuters home – before tucking into crisps and pop provided by Stuart Copley of Northern Rail.
Thanks to Secretary Sue and Fr Gott for making it a grand do.
The Mytholmroyd Station Partnership is a voluntary organisation which supports and promotes community involvement at the village railway station and surrounding area.
The Mytholmroyd Station Partnership draws together the train operator Northern Rail, the station owner Network Rail, local authorities and users to raise awareness of the railway in the local community, and to promote and market it more effectively.
British Transport Police and officers from the West Yorkshire force have provided invaluable support and reassurance since we started on the station project.
We welcome new members and encourage everyone to be involved somehow or other and to discuss and develop ideas and arrange funding for local improvements.

Normally we do not get involved with train services, and we direct any passengers with comments/complaints to the Customer Service people at Northern Rail who have responded positively.
We meet on the Second Tuesday of the month at 19.30hrs (except August)
at the Church of the Good Shepherd.
We have a tidy-up, dig-in at 13.30hrs for one hour
On the second Friday of the Month
Just having a break !
You are most welcome to one or both.
You do not have to be a train enthusiast – we are a mixed bunch of local volunteers interesting in improving our village railway station and surrounding area.
Before working on the platforms you will receive a Safety Brief – common sense stuff.
NEVER be complacent when near the railways – those trains come down the track VERY quietly.
Yet again, we have received an Award from the Yorkshire in Bloom scheme.

Yorkshire in Bloom – 2011

Yorkshire in Bloom 2011 comments
We have just come the end of a hectic three weeks – preparing for the judging of the 2011 Neighbourhood Award.
We not only include the village railway station, but the local churches, inn,village green and residents.
Jim Jarratt & Paul Trafford working on the village green
We had two teams of volunteers from the Royal Sun Alliance office this year
.
They were younger and fitter than us - and could get at places we could not reach......
The volunteers did a superb job - thank you.
Thanks to Nigel Oliver (Green Business Network 3rd from l) for organising the RSA volunteers.
Christine Breare, the 2011 judge with Barry Geldard from the Church of the Good Shepherd gardeners
Brenda shows how they have transformed under the arches at Streamside Fold.
Hon. Secretary Sue explains the stone sculpture on the village green
and finally, we all admired the house and garden of John Truscott at the old Mytholmroyd Farm (16th century - house, not John).
Visitors to t’Royd – welcome !
Posted: September 11, 2011 Filed under: About the Partnership, Visitors Leave a comment »It always nice to be able to show visitors around the station – especially those who remember it when it was a vandalised wreck.
How the local community has changed the railway station, surrounding area and not forgetting the Memorial gardens and village cross.
Out of the blue, we welcomed the Chief Executive of the national passenger watchdog – Anthony Smith of the Passenger Focus.
We sometimes forget what a lovely place we live in – as Anthony said – ‘I was very impressed by what you have been doing – I will come back with the family one day!’
