Friends of Brockenhurst Station

Friends of Brockenhurst Station Independently and collaboration with partners we seek out implementation funding.

We are one of 100+ station volunteer groups working across the South Western Railway area imagining new and creative ways to improve station spaces and environments.

Our volunteers have been out planting flowers in the station baskets this week.

Our little train Dessie waits on Platform 3¾ to take Hogwarts pupils to the IOW ferry.

Our displays form part of an SWR entry to the RHS “Celebration Stations” competition. We won the Silver Gilt prize last year but if the hot weather persists, we may need bit more magic in the shape of few more volunteers to help with occasional watering.

If you live near the station and can spare 30 minutes occasionally, please message us. Thank you.

Delighted to show 14 Brockenhurst Beaver Scouts around the station this evening. Some great questions about railway safety from our junior citizens.

Some key messages included

The power is always on the track.

Stay behind the yellow platform line.

It takes a train several hundreds of metres to stop.

How to use the help points on the platform.

How to be safe near a level crossing.

Good luck in getting your safety badges guys!

BROCKENHURST STATION EXIT WAYFINDING
In August last year our application for funding to improve Exit Wayfinding from the station was approved by under their Social Development Fund. We submitted proposals for both the upgrade to the forecourt local map and the installation of complimentary new Exit signs from the Station to Key local destinations. After consultation with who are in the process of updating their trail wayfinding and Council we concluded on modifications and updates to the map and the key destinations to be signed. These were agreed with SWR and whilst FoBS managed the production and installation of the updated map SWR took responsibility for the fabrication, locations and installation of the Exit signs.
We are now pleased to announce that, subject to some minor additions, the Map and most of the Exit signs have now been installed.
We understand that the FE Wayfinding project will be complete by late Spring and we will be proposing to the Parish Council and the Village Trust that some additional wayfinding signs be installed along public rights of way to assist visitors to the Village, arriving by train or bus, to reach their destinations after leaving the station.
This completes another Community Project initiated by FoBS and supported by SWR to enhance and promote Brockenhurst Station as the Gateway and most sustainable way to travel to the New Forest.

One of our key themes at Brockenhurst Station is Art and Culture. We now have an opportunity to introduce Art at the Station and want to form a group of local enthusiasts to develop proposals and hopefully be involved in the implementation.
