What's Next?

Thanks to Tony J here are some pictures of what is coming next.  The first shows the view along the piles of scraped ballast, these were weeded at the weekend to make sure that after screening there will be no seeds in the ballast, that will help with future maintenance.  Our visiting Explorer Scouts helped with this as part of their working weekend and in their progress towards the Duke of Edinburgh award.

The second view shows what lies over the bridge.  Here the track is all still in place for the moment.  Once we have completed the current section work will move to the other side of the cattle creep and the process will be repeated. Beyond the line of poplar trees lies Weston and there waiting for the team is Stonehousebrewery .  Some people find fortune at the end of their dreams, we will find a well earned drink!
Finally is a view looking back along the scraped trackbed from the cattle creep to the material stored at the back of the Travis Perkins yard. 
Once the contractors have finished adjusting the levels under Gasworks Bridge the head of steel will be pushed south, first under the bridge and then along this stretch to the cattle creep.  If you fancy lending a hand come along, if you would like to contribute to make things happen faster use the link on the right at the top of the page to donate. 

Thank you all for your support, 2018 has been a great year so far.

Until next time.
