Bridlington's Andrew Nominated for Garden Gold

A man from Bridlington has been nominated for a national rail industry award for his contribution to the running of the town's station.

Andrew Loxton works as a retail supervisor for Northern at Bridlington station – but is better known by the train operator’s customers for his gardening and prize-winning floral arrangements on the platforms, for which the station has rightly become famous.

And now, he has 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.
