If ever there was a case of too many notices,

this has to be it! The cluttered parapet wall by the steps that go down on to Eccles up platform is adorned with a variety of notices ignored by most people I should imagine. Freccles (Freinds of Eccles station) have a large notice to the left. They appear to have been doing excellent work promoting the station and campaigning for a better service. They have also done a superb job keeping the station looking smart with well maintained and stocked flower beds. The blue plaque commemorates that the station is one of Stephenson's stations on his fabled Chat Moss line where it all started in September 1830.
