We always knew that with the Thursday Gang and other distinguished customers that 'Buffers' on Oswestry station was special. Now it is official, a recently arrived 5 star rating as recognition. No further excuses now for not joining in! Well done to Jenny and the Buffers team and go and sample their cakes.
On the ground there has been further progress by the contractors. There have been further supplies of materials, crushed stone for the sub base
and extra stones for filling the gabions
as well as extra reinforcement for the concrete pours.
Not forgetting the test cubes to make sure that everything is to specification. Test cubes are then subjected to extreme loads under a press to confirm their strength. After that these are disposed of, they do make excellent bases for garden sheds, so I am told.
The work continues around the bridge with the stabilisation of the re-profiled sides.
Meanwhile under the bridge the inspection and rectification work to the steel and brickwork continues.
The last of Guy's pictures shows an obstacle on the line. "You can't park that there, they'll be a train along soon."
With the Bank Holiday it is a short working week.
Until next time
