Just weeks after he moved down the track, awarding widding Hampshire station master Ian Faletto has scooped another gong.

The man famed for his first-class customer service, bowls of sweets on the counter and floral displays at his former station in Sway, has now turned Lymington station into the most improved in the region.

The accolade was handed out as part of the South West Trains Station Pride Awards 2006, covering 177 stations.

Mr Faletto, 44, said: "Lymington is more of a town environment than Sway, but most of the passengers are calling me by my first name now.

"Now I've got this award, I've won every one there is."

Mr Faletto has previously won best small station, at Sway, best medium-sized station, at Salisbury, and best large station, for Southampton.

He was given a lifetime achievement award last year.

South West Trains' New Forest area manager Martin Bedford said: "It's down to the dedication Ian has put in. I have a job to get him to go home. He always seems to have some plan in his head for the station.

"He's done a tremendous job in just ten weeks and built up a good relationship with the community."

Elsewhere in the New Forest, Brockenhurst won best medium station for the standard of the facilities and customer service offered by employees Ian MacAvoy, Richard Yates, John Sanley, Mike Cullen, Penny Sheard and Stephan Haisman.
