Spot the difference
Can you spot how many ways
we have changed this station?

By making small changes to everyday places
like our stations, we can encourage people tobe tidy and save energy - looking after theenvironment.

Word search
Our railway lines pass woods and forests,
embankments and people’s gardens, and you will see
many different trees from your train window.
Can you find them all hidden in the word search
below?
