And the Sun Beat Down

 Week commencing 14th June 2021


On the First day back off my week break in Wales I did a quick walk around the station to see what had been accomplished in my absence.


Spear fencing had been completed down the platform 2 slope down to the end post , the last 2 panels have only been bolted together , access being required in the future . Gate also had been fitted.


Gate latch had been completed on the stairs leading down to the Signal box locker room.


And at the foot of the footbridge stairs the canopy extension pillars had been erected.

Back to Monday

Peter and Dave went down to Winchcombe in the Morning to carry on with the window repairs, which left Brian and Pat on Gardening duties.


On Wednesday

Peter gave his newly planted  shrubs a good watering


Dave and Ian went to Hayles Abbey to touch up the paint on the running in board


First train of the day " P and O " was quite impressive thundering by .


Julie managed the shop and made quite an impressive sum of money for the  " Friends of Broadway ", the passenger numbers seam to be on the increase .

 

Mike and Clive were using the last of the paint up on the spear fencing.


Ian and Dave back from their trip did a bit of tidying and planting down by the entrance sign.

Second train of the day was  " Formarke Hall " gleaming as usual in the mid day sun.

    When the footbridge is finished will passengers be allowed onto platform 2?

  4. When we have finished the steps passengers will be allowed on to the span of the bridge to get a different view of the station. Platform two will open up when the building that side is completed. Many thanks for the comments
