I'd like to put some up-to-date news in about the railway's extension plans. Would you mind if i used a couple of your informative pictures, please?Nick Joneshttp://5542.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-2205225589401423412015-07-12T03:13:42.353+01:002015-07-12T03:13:42.353+01:00Your comment that flies were attracted to the yell...Your comment that flies were attracted to the yellow hi-viz vest is interesting><br />I used to own a bright yellow Renault 5 car and whcich was parked outside.

For those of us who aren't local, who can't just pop by to see what's up, these online updates are critical at keeping us connected.<br /><br />Along that vein, it's most unfortunate that the truly fantastic Broadway blog that Bill Britton did for so long hasn't been replaced yet!<br /><br />BTW, one tip: none of the other GWSR blogs/sites seems to link to this, except for the CRC2 blog - maybe a quick word with some of the other Web people at the GWSR, to get them to link to this one, with all the excellent content you're putting up? The Boardroom blog at least out to link to it, but last time I checked, it didn't.<br /><br />Noel<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-32714295829965897022015-07-10T15:30:07.015+01:002015-07-10T15:30:07.015+01:00Hi John,

(both sides)<br />I'll post a picture showing the fracture when I next report.<br />Thanks for your interest!Jo https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480195769830116100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-81263844355912568722015-07-10T09:21:31.563+01:002015-07-10T09:21:31.563+01:00As a retired bridge engineer, I was wondering if t...As a retired bridge engineer, I was wondering if there is any distortion to the culvert remaining under the embankment and also the condition of the brickwork.John Fancotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07247438547070941238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-43281768115514591082015-07-09T21:58:19.372+01:002015-07-09T21:58:19.372+01:00Although I've seen the results of work like th...Although I've seen the results of work like this before on the GWSR, it never fails to impress me and the speed at which the contractors are getting on with this bodes well for track laying to restart. Of course, lovely summer weather must also help (but not the flies!). Once again Jo, many thanks for keeping us up to date.
