Blyth school secures funding to convert second train carriage into a science lab

A school in Blyth for children with special educational needs is now able to convert a second train carriage after their unique library captured the imaginations of the children.

The Dales School, which was featured on last week's episode of George Clarke's Amazing Spaces, has already converted one of the carriages of a disused train into a library and a grant from the Harrison Foundation will allow them to convert another one.

In the programme from last week, George Clarke was stunned by the incredible transformation of the train, and marvelled at the work that had been done by teacher James Groundwater and other volunteers as well as the positive impact that it was clearly having on the children.
