Some Summer ?

 Week Commencing 31st July 2023

Both days saw the rains come and go , so in between we did jobs around the station , when we could.

Pat was on the hedge with his trimmer , whilst Chris elsewhere needed a bigger bucket for his weeding.

Our shed open sign was getting a bit worse for wear , the edges were beginning to curl up , Ian tried gluing them back down , but with no luck .

Whilst glue was attempting to go off , Pat and Myself headed down to Toddington to change another set of gas bottles on the Restaurant coach.

Returning to Broadway and the rain had started again , Pat doesnt mind the rain so he carried on Brush cutting behind platform 2.

We decided to make a new shop open sign for the Broadway goods shed , new letters were cut out and then primmed up..

Wednesday

Down to just the 3 of us.

Trouble with the Gents toilet door lock ! Dave removed it , took it apart , looked okay but when the key was turned it only sometimes worked, worked okayish upside down !! very frustrating . 

We had some spare locks so we changed it over , also the ladies door lock had started to go , so Above Ian swapped that one too.

Pat cut the top of the drive grass then went back to the platform 2 bank.

Some of the volunteers many also work for other groups on the railway , below Vic is also a member of the railway station staff.

Here Vic is guiding our visitors into the booking office .

Locomotives on duty today and as it was a Pink Timetable,  was the Class 26 D5343
