Weston Progress

Thanks to Les W and his drone we can share some superb pictures from the 21st July showing the latest progress at Weston.

Let's start with a general view of the station looking north towards Oswestry. The brewery is on the left and the station to the right.

The next view shows the brewery and station side by side and well within staggering distance. The position of the platform alongside the goods shed can be clearly seen.

Now we are looking along the main line and run round loop to the right and the siding to the bay platforms on the left.

With the camera now looking south you can see the station layout. This time the sidings are on the right and the main lines to the left.

In the next view you can see the position of the sectional platform as it is being assembled.

Now we take a look at the platform as it is extended by adding new sections. Further sections will be added on top of the base blocks which have already been set in position.

The platform is now the same length as the goods shed and you can see the next support in position.

The final view shows the platform materials in position awaiting assembly. Once the platform has been assembled the running lines can be extended to complete the loop. For the moment we need access with lifting equipment to assemble the concrete sections.

Thanks to all of the volunteers involved with the works at Weston station and to Les W for the pictures. Les travels some distance to work on the railway.

Keep watching for progress on the CHR project.

Until next time.
