Tuesday it was back to the accommodation crossing to continue with the necessary works for completion.
The first job was to install additional warning signs at the pedestrian crossing gates. Rob W indicates where the sign is to go and invites volunteers to dig.
After the sudden rush failed to materialised Rob picks up the tools and digs the hole.
Dave and Noel watch as fill material is bought in and laid alongside the crossing.
The levels have been built up for the vehicle side, further work is required before we can fit the crossing timbers.
Work will continue along the line to bring this part of the railway to operating condition.
Thanks to Andy G for the pictures and to the team for moving the project forward.
Until next time.
This is all so exciting! When will trains be running from Gobowen to Weston? Is there a time frame for each phase?
ReplyDeleteYes, we are excited too! The link to Gobowen means crossing the A5. The current level crossing is not acceptable to the highways authority for passenger services. There are longer term plans to dual the A5 at this point and that would include a bridge. When this will happen is still unclear for many reasons.
ReplyDeleteTo put a timeline on this happening is very difficult at the moment. We will get there!
