“It is a charitable organisation and caters for adults with disabilities – they certainly enjoyed their day out planting up the tubs and talking to passengers while they were waiting for their train.“
Kevin added: “The Sussex Community Rail Partnership encourages and does a lot with different charities along the Marshlink line and have various projects to suit them.
