Passengers travelling through Potters Bar rail station are enjoying new floral displays, thanks to a team of Govia Thameslink Railway staff.

The staff painted seven wooden planters and filled them with a variety of locally-sourced shrubs and flowers, and the planters were all constructed by inmates at Her Majesty’s Prison, The Mount, based at Hemel Hempstead, as part of an ongoing community programme with GTR.

The new floral displays are the first improvements to Potters Bar station, and won’t be the last.

During the spring this year, improvement work included updating signage at the front of the station, renewed concourse and subway lighting, as well as refreshed subway cladding.

What did the officials say?

Area Station Manager Mark Powell said:

“The flower displays brighten the station and complement the refurbishment works already completed, making the station environment better for customers and staff. Many thanks to those who took part.”
