Our intrepid Lancashire school children are thoroughly enjoying their week in Germany and the Netherlands. From an official welcome at Aachen City Hall (pictured above), to singing lessons with their new Aachen school friends, to scaling viewpoints where they could see three countries at once, they are cramming a lot in to their four-night stay.
The trip is the children’s well-earned reward for delivering a fantastic presentation and warm welcome to Citizens‘ Rail’s European partners during their meeting in Lancashire in July (read the full story so far).
The children have raised funds through various events at school to contribute towards the visit. Additional funding for the trip is being provided by Citizens‘ Rail, the DCRDF Fund, UK German Connection and Abellio.
