Along the with the usual work on site at Oswestry, five members of the Thursday Gang worked on the crossing behind Travis Perkins. Hopefully the previous difficulties have been overcome and maybe this weekend will see the crossing installed.
Dave, Tom, Norman, Noel and photographer Andy G got stuck in to lay out the last of the sleepers.
In the first picture we can see the sleepers laid out whilst the site fencing is reinstalled
The correct sleeper spacing is obtained using the jigs, one of which can be seen alongside the freshly laid sleepers.
As there is still a footpath across the line at this point a couple of sleepers were moved to allow a level access until the crossing is installed. The site fencing was then reinstalled. Noel and Tom are finishing off securing the fencing before returning back to base.
If the Great British weather permits hopefully this weekend will allow the rails to be installed and the crossing surface completed.
Thanks to all who participated and to Andy G who took the pictures.
Until next time.
