Gobowen

Although the connection from Oswestry to Gobowen is still some time away CHR has already started with clearance at Gobowen station.

Guy took a couple of pictures showing the latest status.

We start at the south end of the station showing the point for the second siding which will become the run round loop. Beyond the fence in the distance the line to Oswestry bears off to the right.

The north end of the bay shows the space available for the run round. On the right we have the service trains with the cross-platform interchange.

Saturday the station welcomed the first piece of CHR rolling stock.  The recently repainted tank wagon was moved from Weston to promote the CHR project.

The tank wagon has been positioned on the second siding and carries the Cambrian Railways name.  Thanks to CHR / Facebook for the following two pictures. Firstly the view looking towards the station building.

Here we can see the space available for future developments at the station.

We will keep a watching eye on future events at Gobowen.

Until next time
