There will be a longer than usual working period this week as we attempt to complete the accommodation crossing behind Travis Perkins.
Over the weekend the team spent time clearing the area and moving the ballast screener before it goes off to work further along the extension. Guy N took the following pictures.
The first area to be tackled was the ballast loading area, all the remaining ballast was loaded in to the Dogfish wagon ready to be dropped as needed.
The area is now clear allowing access to the ballast screener.
With a few movements back and forth the access was prepared.
The waiting 'crowd' watches as we prepare to couple up.
A last minute check by Kevin that the towing hitch is clear and ready.
The convoy slowly moves down to the crossing where some work on the screens was carried out.
The whole area is now clear of ballast and obstructions, just some construction materials for the crossing which will be used over the following days.
A quick test that all is well.
The screens are checked from the strategically placed spoil pile.
Materials have been gathered ready for the crossing works.
There will be further updates as works progress.
Many thanks to all who risked sunburn and to Guy N for the pictures.
Until next time.
