Printing & Scanning
We have a fast ink jet printer at the Station Master’s House and for a small charge per sheet (currently 10 pence), you can print from your phone or one of our PCs. We can also photocopy documents for you.
The printer offers one- or two-sided prints, in black and white or full colour. We cannot usually accommodate larger print jobs (over 20 pages) without prior arrangement.
We can also scan documents and either email the resultant image to you, or save it to a USB pendrive (which are available to buy from Reception)
