Busy, Busy

Monday 25th February

Well today it was announced that it was the hottest Winter's Day ever recorded. It certainly helped the Contractors with the Tarmac laying.

Vic in this week set to doing a bit of gardening. Adding some Daffodils, turning over the soil and removing the weeds.

Two plaques were added to the walls. First in the Booking Hall, second in the Café.

The Broadway Café will be receiving its first guests next week when the formal opening of the Car Park will be conducted. There is still a bit of work to be completed in the kitchen.

Visit to Toddington Station revealed some of the Bag Team well at work with modifications to the Platform 1 paving slabs. Rob, Terry & Bob in the first photo and Keith cutting slabs to shape required.

A toast to Broadway Café from Paul and Dave.

The contractors had nearly finished the tarmac laying but run short. We were able to park opposite the station again.

Pat was busy in the picnic area removing weeds and loosening the soil. He also watered the new Pine trees and enjoyed the sunshine and admired his efforts..

Vic was also planting some colourful plants ready for our visitors in March. Also all the station furniture received a polish and the rooms a good clean.

The station clock was still in 2018 so Vic wound up the spring and reset the time. Can't have the trains running late!

Peter K swept along the platform 1 from end to end and looked good in the afternoon sunshine.

We had the plumber in today to finish off the kitchen fittings, which allowed Bob with help from Tony to finish the tiling.

It was also time to coat the white line on the edge of the platforms. So Mike and Ray commenced with Platform 2. Is it a race to the finish?? No I think Mike was just checking!

C & M paid a visit as more paving slabs were required at Toddington. Rod and Keith returning the trollies and Jim discussing with Tony any more items needed.

Dave was in the woodwork shop painting by numbers. The running in board letters getting a lick.

Vic
That's all folks.
