Green-fingered Andrew Loxton was nominated because of his colourful contribution to the running of Bridlington railway station.

Andrew is a retail supervisor for Northern at Bridlington station but is better known with customers for his incredible gardening skills and stunning prize-winning floral arrangements which can be seen on the platforms and has seen the station quite rightly become famed for its fabulous floral displays.

Andrew has now been shortlisted in the Outstanding Personal Contribution category at the noted National Rail Awards which recognise the amazing achievements made right across Great Britain, rewarding both individuals and initiatives that display innovation, measurable improvements and extraordinary leadership.

The National Rail awards have seen a further Northern team member nominated this year after assisting in saving the life of a customer.

Tony Baxter, regional director for Northern, said:

“Andrew’s positive attitude is infectious and he spreads joy to both customers and colleagues alike. He takes great pride in his work and has really made his mark on Bridlington station – for which I know customers appreciate.”

The awards ceremony will take place in London on the 15th of September where Andrew will discover if he is the winner of his category.
