Bishop Line’s Rail Education Officer Jess, has been workin with students from Year 10 UTC South Durham on their Professional and Careers Experience project.
Since January, a group of students have been meeting regularly with Jess to develop proposals to improve the station environment at Heighington Station. The brief was “to make the station feel welcoming whilst respecting the historical significance.”
The students visited the station and also worked with Niall Hammond from the Friends of Stockton and Darlington Railway as part of their research.
On Tuesday 8th April we were delighted to attend the judging day alongside representatives from Friends, Northern and The North East Combined Authority to view the students work. They have produced some excellent proposals and we look forward to continuing to work with UTC to explore how these plans can become a reality at the station!
Congratulations to Olivia from the group, who won the Outstanding Individual Award!
