There's a railway somewhere between Leicester and Birmingham where the
banks used to be covered in them too (purple ones). Fantastic sight.

does anyone remember the days when country railway staions used to be
planted up with brilliant displays and the railway banks where used to
grow veg etc.

It still happens. A few years ago my sister was station manager at Disley,
and she planted up various parts of the station and got a lot of positive
press for it.
