Winning blooms

16 September 2008

Hard work by the green-fingered staff at Sudbury Hill station has paid off, having scooped the prestigious Best Overall category in this year's Underground in Bloom competition.

At some locations the local staff have even teamed up with residents, creating an oasis of floral splendour

The team also managed to grab first prizes in the 'Tubs' and 'Hanging Basket' categories.

London Underground's (LU's) annual competition rewards Tube staff who create and cultivate station gardens in their free time.

This year, 50 stations took part, which is the highest number since the competition began.

Howard Collins, LU chief operating officer, said: 'The Underground in Bloom competition aims to reward staff that go beyond the call of duty by planting and keeping Underground gardens in their spare time.

'At some locations, the local staff have even teamed up with residents, creating an oasis of floral splendour.

'We are delighted to be rewarding these people, they have worked really hard and selflessly to make the Tube more colourful and pleasant for the travelling public.'
