Bugle railway station, which is on the Atlantic Coast Line, between Par and Newquay, scooped third place in the Innovative Projects at Small Stations category at the recent 2013 National Community Rail Awards.

Back in 2011 the station -once a no-go area for wheelchair and pram users - was transformed following a successful project to install new level path avoiding the steep set of steps.
 
The idea was the brainchild of a volunteer from the Friends of the Atlantic Coast Line. (FoCal). It led to a near doubling of passengers using the station, from 3731 in 2010 to 6786 in 2012.

Congratulations, Bugle ... from the picture, it looks like the upgrade has encouraged an enhancement of track work and rolling stock too ...  Wink Cheesy Grin
