The arrival over the weekend was the steelwork for the cattle creep. This is the result of the successful appeal and many thanks to those who contributed. Don't worry if you did not contribute to this appeal as there will be further chances for other projects!
Included with the beams are additional pieces of steelwork to hold everything together. As we currently have the trackbed clear of rails the lorry, with built in crane for unloading, was able to back right up to the cattle creep and unload the steelwork directly on site, that has saved a bit of time.
There is some more preparatory work to do before the beams can be positioned in the gap but it won't be long before they are installed.
With the work soon to start on re-grading of the line under the gasworks bridge and the continued ballast screening things are looking good for a further push on the way to Weston.
Elsewhere around the sites work has continued with vegetation clearance, tidying up, sleeper preparation and coach restoration.
Let's see what the next truck brings....
