Friends of Surbiton Station

Our volunteers were hard at work this weekend planting more bulbs for the Surbiton Crocus Trail in support of Surbiton Rotary club's End Polio Now campaign. We also added in extra purple bulbs to amplify the colour scheme in the coming spring 💜

The sunflowers have been bringing joy to travellers for a few weeks and are also popular with some flying neighbours!

We are thankful that cooler weather has finally arrived. We managed to keep the plants alive through multiple heatwaves but will be glad to hang up our watering cans for a little while. Phew!

✨️New paint! ✨️The weekend engineering works are not ideal if you want to travel quickly, but they provide peaceful platforms to work on the flower bed edges.

Our volunteers are preparing and repainting all of the platform flower beds this weekend, and it makes our flowers look even better!

🌼Happy Spring Equinox🌼 Our bulbs have recently burst into colour bringing joy to the platforms. I'm sure the plants are as relieved as we all are to see more light after this damp, grey winter!

FoSS will be celebrating with some weekend weeding. Remember that gardening volunteers are always needed, get in touch if you'd like to help!

Despite recent grey, wet weather, there is hope! The bulbs have started to appear, and our volunteers have been making the most of some nicer meterological moments to start tidying the flower beds as light and warmth gradually returns towards spring.

If you're interested in joining in the fun and becoming a gardening volunteer in 2026, let us know!

On the day of the Class 455 farewell tours, here are some of our best picture memories of our beloved red trains.

They always helped our flowers 'pop' nicely in pictures. We'll miss you!
