Keeping the Station Tidy

 Week commencing 31st May


Just the one day this week due to the Bank holiday . it was a warm sunny day and we had a healthy turn out of volunteers.



 It was the usual keep fit start to the day moving one of the new spear fences up to the slope on platform 2


Pat made an early star on cutting of the grass behind platform 2 

 Clive was on painting duties


First train of the day  , reasonably  full , things are looking up


Clive later joined Mike on the spear fencing


Brian was strimming the edges of various sectionns of the garden and platforms , whilst down the drive Peter Q was planting more flowers and keeping everything up together.


Dave continued his job of cleaning up of container 1 , and later went on to sweeping up the platform at the north end of platform 1.



Second train of the day was " P and O "


Down on the end of the slope on platform 2 Terry and Keith were positioning the where the post at the end of the spear fencing will go.


At the other end of the spear fencing ,Peter K and Ian were positioning where the gate latch will go.

There was sad news today that Gordon Wood had passed away . Gordon had been one of the  volunteers at the early days of the construction of Broadway Station  and expertise helped in its construction.


RIP Gordon
