Odd Jobs around the Station

 Week Commencing 5th August 2024

Monday

There has been more work on platform 2 , the blues continue to rise slowly up to a height of 4 in places , blocks are making their way onto the concrete from the storage area.

A good deed was first on the cards , one of our neighbors had changed his shed and his old one was bought by the Cheltenham Area Group for storage down at the race course. Once loaded onto the flatbed transit Ian and Ron delivered it to Cheltenham.

Whilst they were away Pat and myself took a trip down to Toddington to change 4 gas bottles on the RBR which was on platform 2 in the awkward position !! ( We have all done the Manual Handling course , but the rules for doing this ? )

Back at the station , Pat was mowing the top of the bank.

Ian returned the fixed board. and Ron mowed the driveway.

Pat eventually ended up on platform 2 with the petrol flymo , 

Wednesday

I got in early to fix the Toilet flush handles , the plastic nut on the inside loosens it self every so often and the handle eventually goes south !

Ron continued on the drive way weeding the area by the fence .

Pats Petrol strimmer had an annoying fault , goes when it wants to !

After lunch Ron was still on the drive.

We were given yet another sign for the bottom of the drive !! This one tells the public that Pay and Display car park has nothing to do with the GWSR

We didn't want to do it but our hand was forced , 

Locomotives on duty today were 2807 and from a different view , Dinmore Manor crossing the bridge behind Sign land .
