Week Commencing 13th March 2023
Monday
The few who turned out faced one of the strongest winds that I could remember at Broadway , Most could see the trees swaying and decided not to go anywhere near them !
Pat and Dave headed down to Toddington, where the rakes of coaches that we being used for the race trains were in need of a few gas bottles changing. Below shows the gap we have to work in .
Four bottles on rake one were changed before we headed back to Broadway.
Where Vic had tidied up the bottom garden.
It was too windy for painting , ( that's a first ) so we had to find other work to do.
Ian had been around the metal skip and found 4 off large castor wheels, Dave then created a trolly for moving the bins etc. around.
Wednesday.
A bitterly cold start to the day, so after the Monday winds there was a lot of debris around the Station.
Friday will see a train leaving from Broadway to Cheltenham for the racegoers, So Dave, Ian and Brian got out the brooms ( too wet for the Billy Goat ! )
By midday the rain had started again but we had given the area a good going over..
At the front of the station building a few paving slabs had been broken , usually by the coaches not staying on the road when they were dropping off and picking up the passengers !
Our friends from Construction and Maintainace soon sorted them out with replacement slabs. Later they went over to platform 2 and fixed the spear fence which needed attention .
After the Dinner break the rain had set in and we couldn't find anything useful to do outside so we called it a day. A very weather driven 2 days hopefully things will get better as the year goes on.
