A Double Header

Sunday 1st August 

As it was the Pink Timetable it was Steam and Diesel on the trains. It was very pleasurable to have two Class 47s on the train arriving at Broadway Station.

The friends of Broadway Summer news letter.

Monday

Monday saw the usual suspects ( volunteers ) attending , weather okay,ish for a change.

First a bit of shifting , a late delivery last Wednesday of more slabs were left by the Footbridge stairs  , they needed to be moved to the storage area.

Brian and Ian had a few hours on the job.

A bit of fixing and strengthening of Station Cafe Open sign was also needed.

Vic was removing dead branches .

 Pat was behind Platform 1 .

Dave was doing slots on the dagger boards

This is what volunteering is all about . Brian had been clearing an area at the bottom of the drive embankment , Ian taking the rubbish and spoils away , but every so often its time for a chat .

Wednesday 

What a difference a couple of days have been on the footbridge stairs .

The Malvern side had been completed.

With no noticeable wind and no outlook of rain today it was decided to light the bonfire. maybe it wasnt a good idea as some of the vegetation was still wet at it took a while to get going.

Pat was giving the drive way grass a trim , before heading away from the public to the far reaches of the station.

 Peter Q was tending to the path way .

" P and O " was on the first train of the day.

The Wednesday crew brought more slabs and a bit of old wood which headed to the fire , it did go a lot better after .

" Foremarke Hall " pulled the second train of the day.

 Ian gave the spear fencing a first coat before helping Dave . 

 More slab moving !

7903 in 37215 out

The Toddington / Broadway boys also brought with them a large amount of sand and gravel which is always useful .
