One question: was it not possible for the lorries to reverse up the bank and along the trackbed to drop the ballast directly on the Terram, thus saving much time plus avoiding a lot of double handling and the costly hire of dumpers? As the 'coal face' is now so much nearer, might that be something to consider when you restart next year?

In this season of "great winter unpleasantness" as I refer to it when I'm in bah humbug mode, the Broadway extension blog has been a real morale-booster. Best wishes and compliments of the season to you all.
