Pupils and staff from Hamilton Grammar have been back at work in Hamilton Central train station, sprucing up the platform with plants and flowers as part of ScotRail’s Adopt a Station initiative. Central Scotland MSP Margaret McCulloch, who introduced the school to the scheme, also returned to the station to see for herself how the teens are brightening up the platform. The politician also spoke with passers-by about the difference the plants have made, bringing colour and life to one of the most frequently used public spaces in the town.
