Paul and Mary richly deserve to have been done at the Palace -
they have contributed so much towards the community stations that we now have in the Calder Valley.

Visitors to t’Royd – welcome !
Posted: February 1, 2012 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!’

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).
Red Tape ? NO – Safety comes First !
Posted: August 31, 2011 Filed under: cleaning, members volunteers, safety, winterisation Leave a comment »Sometimes we wonder why we have to do things a certain way, or cannot undertake a project the way we planned.
Whilst they may seem onerous, most railway rules originate from the lessons learnt from previous accident/incidents.
Basically, if a human is involved it will be screwed up somehow and sometime even if it for seemingly good reasons – getting the job done, or not bothering other folk etc etc etc.
The following is a timely reminder that working near the tracks has to be taken seriously at all times – complacency can be fatal.

Jolly to Ribblehead

With thanks to Drew Haley and all at Northern Rail our intrepid band of travellers braved the British summer to venture into the mountain air at Ribblehead.
Some (young un’s Shirley & George) went up onto the slopes of Whernside whilst most of us went as far as the viaduct to make sure the mortar was still intact.
We all (more or less) got back to the Station Inn for an excellent lunch before the normal Pennine arrived – but the rain did not dampen our day out.
Who would buy a second-hand train from these three? Photo by Joan Glover

More of less the full expeditionary team
