Flower power and green fingers help get Bridlington man nominated for National Rail Award

A man has been nominated for a national rail industry award thanks to his work at Bridlington station.

Andrew Loxton is a retail supervisor for Northern at Bridlington station – but he is better known by rail passengers for his gardening and prize-winning floral arrangements on the platforms, for which the station has become famous.

Now he’s been shortlisted in the Outstanding Personal Contribution category of the prestigious National Rail Awards – a scheme which recognises outstanding achievements across Great Britain and rewards individuals and initiatives which demonstrate innovation, measurable improvements and exceptional leadership.

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.”

Andrew will find out if he is the winner in his category at the awards ceremony in London on Thursday, 15 September.
