A New Year

FOBS Working Teams

It was all go at Broadway Station today.

The Woodwork Team and The Café.

Peter, David H and Brian were in the Woodwork Shop. Another rubbish/recycle bin was moved out of the Woodwork Shop. A replacement Running in Board can be seen in the photo. A start was made on the outdoor cupboard for the Café.

In the Café Kitchen, Tony and Bob were sorting out some of the fixtures prior to tiling on the wall.
Tables and chairs have arrived for the Café.

Ground Work

Pat and Vic were busy raking up more pine needles - a never ending task! At the top of the drive our contractors were fitting the drainage system prior to the driveway being tarmac coated.

FOBS Shop

John B, Julie and Steve were in the shop today, sorting out old stock and finding an intruder. Poor Teddy had been attacked by a four legged fiend. How do they find their way in? Mice!!

Another Ground Work Team

The Trackside Clearance Team turned up today to commence the clearing of the embankment between Childswickham Bridge and Broadway Bridge, starting at the Station end.

Alternative Transport

Most of our teams arrived by car, but we did have an alternative. It was ballast time at Toddington! The arrival of a diesel loco signified the departure of the ballast wagons.

Other Visitors

The Health and Safety Team had a meeting to risk assess the arrival of the footbridge metalwork for the first set of steps arriving next week.
The Fire Alarm Service Engineer also inspected the alarm system and confirmed all was well.
A couple from the Caravan Club and one person from Broadway Village also popped in to view the Station and give congratulations on the Station's appearance.
