Our Smokefree Policy

Smoking is prohibited at all of our stations and on all of our trains, following the government’s legislation banning smoking in public places in England in July 2007.
Smoking is not allowed in any part of the station including concourses, ticket halls, footbridges, subways, retail outlets and platforms, whether they are covered or uncovered. 
There are signs to show where smoking is prohibited, and our smokefree policy applies to all of our stations, whether or not they are staffed.
Thank you for helping to make our stations a better environment for all of our customers and staff.

Smokefree in Wales

Smoking is also prohibited in all train stations including platforms, shelters and waiting rooms in Wales.

Station Adoption

What is Station Adoption?

 Station Adoption enables individuals, groups or organisations to get involved with their local station. The project is voluntary and encourages local communities to have involvement in smaller stations, from creating a flower border to providing community information.

What are the benefits?

When communities get involved with their local station it can have a very positive impact including:

  • creating a more attractive and cared-for station environment, which improves perceptions of safety and security.
  • putting the station back into the heart of the community
  • promoting train travel to local people
  • reducing the risk of vandalism

Who does it?

 Lots of people volunteer their time to adopt their local station, including:

  • rail users
  • schools or youth clubs
  • community groups
  • environmental and horticultural groups
  • local businesses
  • parish councils
  • neighbourhood Watch Schemes.

How can you get involved?

 There is a range of activities that you can be involved in depending on the time that you are able to commit. Broadly, Station Adoption covers three types of activity:

  • gardening (station gardens, flower tubs, weeding, manual vegetation clearance)
  • cleaning and painting (rubbish clearance, painting out graffiti)
  • information (having a 'community notice board' at the station or a 'rail information board' in the community, also fault reporting on unstaffed stations).

There are a number of Station Adoption groups already set up across the First Great Western network. Below are some examples of what can be achieved:

  • St James Park. Exeter City FC has adopted this halt on 'The Avocet Line'. A team of 40 volunteers from the club joined with railway staff to clear the embankments of encroaching shrubs and remove litter, with local TV and radio in attendance. The second phase was painting the station in the football team's colours.
  • National Trust Rural Stations Project. This has secured funding from a variety of sources to enable volunteers to carry out gardening schemes on over two dozen stations, ranging from St Erth in Cornwall to Kemble in Gloucestershire.
