Week Commencing 12th May 2025
Monday
Day started off well weather wise for the 4 volunteers that turned up
Peters job today was to extend the door fasteners on the café door ! The café staff had a problem getting to the fasteners due to them being too high , his solution was to use a longer rod and move the mechanism lower.
Kevin infilled the GWSR sign with decorative stone .
Ian was on the battery brush cutter behind platform 1.
Myself was cutting the grass on platform 1 when the heavens opened up !
Thunder and lightening and torrental rain , time to go home .
Wednesday
Nice Sunny warm day , but still only 4 of us.
Back to cutting the grass on 1 !
The new garden has had a few plants planted in it. Still looks a bit sparse , hopefully they will eventually bush out and fill in the spaces .
Kevin finished what Ian had started.
All the way to the badger run.
A request from the station staff kept me busy in the afternoon , any guesses what they are for ?
3 locos on duty today were , Foremarke Hall , 3850 and on the afternoon train the Class 20
Other than for autographs, I would say that the request from the station staff was for ice creams and/or cold drinks!
ReplyDeleteThe tidying up of the lawns looks very well done and are a credit to you all.
When I worked on the SVR, the call was from loco crews for tea when they called at the station. We usually got a bucket/barrow of coal by return for the station fires though, so we gladly obliged with the tea. They never seemed to have tea cans with them though, and they were easily accessible then from any hardware store.

Any danger of getting the signal box open this year? It all seems to have been a waste of time installing all the kit, just for it to sit there unused for years!
