Friends of March Railway Station (FOMRS)

The group meet on the second Saturday of the month, on the disused platforms from 10am.  

The friends of March Railway Station were formed in 2009 and since then have completed a number of projects, ranging from painting of the footbridge and pillars to positioning track and laying new ballast.  They have gone from strength to strength with an active core group attending events. Future events will concentrate on controlling the weeds, refurbishing the rooms and painting the metal work.  Water has been installed; special thanks go to Community Payback, who have enabled this to happen.  

The group plant up flower barrels on both the disused and current platform, with grant funding gained through the Community Rail Partnership.  

At the Abellio Greater Anglia Station Adopter Awards in 2014, the group won the Best Adopter Group category. In 2015, they won Best Adopter Group again but were also highly commended for their event to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the station held in September.  

The group meet on the second Saturday of the month, from 10.00 until 13.00. New volunteers are always wanted.
