I suspect they would be interested in visiting our refreshment room at the station, once it is open, as, I'm told, there are no facilites at the CC. There's nothing better than sitting on the platform with a cup of tea, and watching the railway goings on.Jo https://www.blogger.com/profile/05480195769830116100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-46154671531352991182017-07-16T20:37:26.023+01:002017-07-16T20:37:26.023+01:00Jenny and I took a look at the station site from S...Jenny and I took a look at the station site from Springfield Lane bridge today (Sunday). It is wonderful to see the track back on the formation again. Quite a few of the locals were there too, and lots of positive comments. It is surely a fantastic tourist resource that you are restoring here. On the way back to the car we took a look around the nearby campsite. We felt justified since we are both keen campers. It is a really impressive campsite, and they have done a very good job of incorporating the old goods shed into the site. Thre is a real railway theme to the site, and I imagine there will be many opportunities for mutually beneficial interchanges. I may be a dreamer, but might there one day be a chance of constructing a small halt, so that campers can step aboard the trains directly? The new halt at Hailes certainly seems to set the standard.

I think that the theatre indicator boxes SHOULD say 'MAIN' and 'X', denoting the main single line and X for wrong line movement; but I'm only guessing and will have to wait and see like the rest of us.

This is when a road-rail machine would come in useful to be able to work from the head shunt and drop the siding sleepers in place.<br />PaulPaulKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08499643265058144113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-38757191812567421982017-07-15T20:32:01.190+01:002017-07-15T20:32:01.190+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Jonathan Goodallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06160979590489602015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-39467833151006956752017-07-15T19:27:49.127+01:002017-07-15T19:27:49.127+01:00Exciting day.... track returns north of Broadway s...Exciting day.... track returns north of Broadway station!Steve Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246751941088920565noreply@blogger.com
