Now We Are Digging.

With the contractors working during the week the progress is rapid,  Guy took time over the weekend to look around and take some pictures of recent progress.  The levels are becoming clearer and much of the material has been removed.  Many thanks to Guy for taking the time to take the pictures.

We start this first group of pictures looking towards the current running line with evidence of the drains to the left.  It won't be long before we can relay the track here.
The next picture shows how the levels have changed and the some of the areas that still need some work where services cross the line.
The next view shows how much material has already been removed, further work is needed to grade and reinforce the sides.
 Underneath the bridge the depth of the material removed is now visible.
 On the Weston side of the bridge the line rises back up to the normal track level.
The levels are set out by the surveyors and the level boards indicate to the machine operators how much is to be removed.
 With the right machines the work is much easier than if we had to dig this by manual means.

There will be further pictures during the week so keep checking back.

Until next time.
