The new Hereward Line activity book has designed with young people in mind
The new activity book released by the CRP features a range of activities, including spotting activites, colouring, wordsearch, true / false quiz, railway safety activity, and things to see and do in each of the places along the Hereward Line.
The reader is guided through the book by a barn owl called Fen.
Fen was created by illustrator Claire McGinley who also created the landscape and nature images throughout.
Claire’s work can be viewed here: Claire McGinley – Cambridge Open Studios
The CRP are delighted to have worked with Claire, who is looally based in Ely, and who knows the landscape very well. The images have created a very personal and friendly book which is intended for young people to enjoy either on the train or when visiting the places along the Hereward Line.
Copies of the book are available at March Railway Station, or from Visit Ely (Oliver Cromwell’s House), or at events the CRP attend.
The online version of the book can be viewed by using the link below.
Funding for the project came from CrossCountry Trains Community Improvement Fund and East Midlands Railway’s Community Fund and the CRP are grateful for the support in being able to produce this important material to promote the line and important key messages around railway safety.
