The CHR website now has details of the first trains and places can be booked. We look forward to welcoming you.
Meanwhile work is ongoing along the line in preparation for public services.
The running line at Oswestry has seen some spot re-sleepering. Andy G sent some pictures.
We start with the RVV moving the replacement sleepers into position.
It's time to take out the sleepers no longer suitable for the running line.
Keep checking to make sure that all is aligned.
With lots of wiggling and jiggling the new sleepers are placed in position under the rails.
The all important check to ensure that everything is to gauge.
Time to fill with ballast.
Then it's packing time to fill the gaps around the sleepers and to ensure support.
Time to assess the job and fill in any gaps.
Job done and time to pack up and drink tea.
In parallel other work is in hand with lineside furniture and signage. The mile posts are being prepared for the planting season.
Thanks to all who have lent a hand and to Andy G for the pictures.
Until next time.
