And it was time for another visit on Wednesday – this time with Katie’s boyfriend Carl Woods in tow.
The visit comes after it was announced by Network Rail that Harvey was being offered the chance to do a train announcement – although that doesn’t appear to be why he was at the station on Wednesday.
National Rail have invited the teen to conduct the announcement ‘when restrictions allow’ amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.
Katie, 42, wrapped up warm against the February chill in a cream fur jacket, for her visit to the trains.
