A station master who has manned the ticket office for almost 20 years has been awarded an MBE for services to the community. Trevor Francis, 67, also spends up to six hours a day of his spare time maintaining the plants, shrubs and floral displays at Aberdour station in Fife. His dedication to improving the site's environment has seen awards given for the best station garden and his work also helped Aberdour win the title of best kept village in the Fife Council area for two years running.
