An army of volunteers from the pioneering open access operator Hull Trains have taken part in a beach clean in the beautiful Yorkshire seaside town of Bridlington.

This was the latest initiative by the community focused business, as part of an exciting partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust.

As part of the transformative litter pick, Hull Trains organised for talented Yorkshire artist Fred Brown to create a stunning piece of beach artwork. Locals and tourists alike were blown away by his large scale creations, which he made especially for the big day.

Volunteers collected twelve bags of litter in total. Items found included soft plastics, socks, dog toys, cans and even a climbing rope.
