A ‘Wherry’ happy birthday as Wherry Lines’ celebrates 10th anniversary

Regional train operator National Express East Anglia, Norfolk County Council and partners celebrated the 10^th Anniversary of the Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership, at a fun-packed day in Cantley last Friday, 9 July.

An anniversary cake, speeches, music, and song and dance all contributed to a special day of celebration. Local school children took part in a ‘Pirate’ fancy dress competition and the celebrations were topped off by a sail across the Broads in the Wherry ‘White Moth’ – symbol of the Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership.

James Steward National Express East Anglia’s Rural Area Manager said:

“I was delighted to join our partners at Norfolk County Council to celebrate the 10^th anniversary of the Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership. A marvellous day was had by all who attended.

This successful partnership has been instrumental in promoting train services on the Wherry Lines and in investing in our local stations. It just goes to show what progressive partnerships can achieve. I wish the partnership many more years of success.”
