Broadway Station Maintenance Team: Scorcio

Week commencing 19th July 2021

Freedom day came and went but the weather was still a bit " Scorcio " as they said on the Fast Show Sketch. It was a case of lets see what we could do before it got too hot.

But it wasn't too hot to do the white lines for the Station car park . Tony on the heat gun , Dave Mike and Ian were on measuring and then the placement of the lines . Sorry I was so busy placing the lines I forgot to take a picture of the area after but you probably get the gist of what a car park looks like.

We then with the left overs bits made up some small triangles and placed them on the speed humps .

Brian was again on the mower , grass beginning to turn a bit brown in places , whilst on bank behind platform 1 Pat was hacking through the undergrowth.

A visitor in the shape of the class 37 .

By lunchtime most had had enough by 2 o clock we had all departed .

Wednesday

Weather just as hot , again it was a case of doing something until it got unbearable.

Peter Q was brushing up down the drive in the semi shade

Whilst a visit from a small team construction and maintenance , made use of the heat gun to repair a hole in the tarmac at the bottom of the drive.

Pat had moved over to the end of Platform 2 , he was hoping to clear a line up to the signal before it got too hot , but it is hard work and the heat got the better of him.

Somebody who looked like the sun wasn't having an effect on was Clive , merrily painting the spear fencing !

Down by the workshop in the dappled shade Dave was putting the holes in the dagger boards , the sun eventually cleared the trees and enough was enough.
