Run up to the Gala

 Week Commencing 20th May 2025

Just a week before the Bank Holiday and our Cotswold Festival of Steam , so it a final push to getting the Station looking its best.

Monday

A quick mow of the driveway grass , saw Ron on the top half and myself doing the bottom.

Kevin tidied up the triangle garden and planted a small tree that nobody could remember what it was ! 

After mowing Ron got to do a bit of weeding .

Ian was on the top strimming the edges.

When I said a bit of weeding , a barrow full or 2 

After a bit of Cafe housekeeping Mike cleaned and painted the white line on platform 2.

All that grass cutting left a bit of a mess on the drive , so we gave ` Billy ` a run out .

Wednesday

Platform 2 has seen more brick work on the far end

A bit of a tidy up under the canopy of the Station Building especially by the wall.

The driveway manhole had a clean out too , except for this stubborn one which refused to budge.

The rocks from the bottom garden got moved up the corner where Ron, Ian and Kevin tried their hand at Cotswold stone walling .

Myself did a bit of colouring in with the new timetable signs , today it is purple !

The 2 Class 2800s were on duty today, 2807  and 3850

Hope those of you coming to the Gala have a great time , myself I'm doing Crossing monitor Duties at

Cheltenham Racecourse on Saturday and Winchcombe on Sunday , so give us a wave.
