I know time is short but I must praise your efforts with the ballast drop today; I've walked that section many years ago (GWSR sponsored walk I think) and it was cold and windy, even on a relatively mild day! Very interesting update on the "Beware of Train" signs too, as they appear to be very similar for all railway companies but are not, hence the need for "genuine" GWR ones. I'd quite like one myself! Maybe something for later this year.<br />Toddingtontedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02470051178926426104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-25119931502487236852018-03-19T21:46:44.794+00:002018-03-19T21:46:44.794+00:00Another unexpected blogpost !

Just as well the platform at Broadway was seen to, before the snow returned.<br /><br /><br />I'd no idea the snow had persisted in your area. Here n the North West, there's no sign hat any snow ever fell ! Oh yes, it's cold, all right. <br /><br />Well, I hope the residual snow did not make things too difficult with the ballasting.<br /><br />I do hope all goes well with the signage. It will be the necessary final touch to the period station. (Unless they seriously mean to go ahead with the half-witted idea of the garden shed on Platform One.)

If signs are that valuable there is not much point in leaving them unattended in public areas such as railway stations for Fred the Thief to help himself, is there?<br /><br /><br />Please let me know how many such signs you need at Broadway and I will be happy to fund them. Always worth shopping around.Alistair Kewishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563378044861613177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914276256646518799.post-66441010984670870142018-03-19T19:53:07.874+00:002018-03-19T19:53:07.874+00:00Fascinating, thanks!Fascinating, thanks!Steve Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03246751941088920565noreply@blogger.com
