We encourage and support Adopters

The Ely Plant Spotters are station staff adopters. Adopters agree a simple programme of works every year. This includes making sure the station is clean and tidy, checking that information is up to date and managing areas that have become overgrown.

Greater Anglia is a member of our Hereward Community Rail Partnership and is keen to encourage and support adopters at their stations.
