The View From A Bridge

Sometimes it's satisfying to just look down from above to see the progress. The following photos are from the CHR Facebook page and show the recent progress. The link to the Facebook page is on the top right of this page (web version) so if you do visit give the page a like.

Looking over the walls of the bridge you can see the layout of the station and how things fit together.

We start with a view of the works train pulling into the platform from the south. The run round loop is to the right and the grassy bank at the far right will one day be the second platform.

Looking the other way you can see the southern point of the loop and just beyond the recently repaired bridge over the river Morda. Beyond the bridge the line gently curves to the right to cross the A483.

And this is where we stop for now. Beyond the stop sign is the level crossing and the line to Llynclys.

We close with a view of the works train having arrived from Oswestry and resting in the new Weston station.

There is still plenty of work to make the station operational and the line between the cattle creep and Weston requires attention.

As you can see there has been significant progress this year and you can see the net results of your donations. Many thanks to all who have supported CHR during this very difficult period. We hope you like what you see and we look forward to welcoming you on a visit to the railway. As soon as we are able to reopen we will make an announcement. 

Thank you to CHR for the pictures.

Until next time.
