*** Latest News *** *** STOP PRESS *** Track Laid in the Old Station
Bed *** STOP PRESS *** . Latest news is that the nine track panels donated to FOMRS by Network
Rail have now been lifted across the wall from the yard and are now in place.
The volunteers have worked hard to lay the track into the ballast and curve
the rails to follow the sweep of the old disused platform. There’s still much to do but the work is taking on a new lease of life
and look more and more like the station that was once a hive of activity. Stay in touch on our Facebook Page for the latest information, updates and to see the photos. |

The aim of the group is to
improve the railway “gateway” into March via the station for the pleasure and
delight of visitors and the local commuters who use and pass through the
station. This started by placing
flower filled oak barrels on the operational platforms. Clearing work on the
disused part of the station also began, including the disused platforms, bay
and station rooms. When the rooms have been
refurbished they will be available for use by local community groups. |
