Too Hot again !

 Week commencing 10th August 2026

Monday

Just Ian , Chris and myself on another hot day .

Chris was on the car park garden , removing mostly dead and dying plants !

Ian treated the contentious planter and it was eventually lined ready for planting.

 

Myself was on the bank behind the bonfire area on platform 1 .

Wednesday

Up to 4 volunteers .

A look at re felting the Goods Shed roof before the end of the year , 4 people have 4 different ideas on how to do it  !!

Didnt happen , saved it for another day ( probably for a rainy day )

Needles are falling fast , so it was time to take Billy for a stroll up and down the drive .

Ian was up to mischief in the container ? 

Locos around today were the Class 45 and class 47 , spotted arriving under the shade of the station canopy 

.

Over on platform 2 , Scaffolding has started to go up in anticipation on the canopy being erected on the following Monday.

Its a case of the few spoiling the fun for the many , the canopy erection team have asked for the cameras to be turned off for the duration of the erection , too many nit-pickers and over jealous Health and safety might be watching !!

If you want to watch please come down ,I'm sure you will be welcome.

Just a thought , when the station building on platform 2 is finished and we have eventually have to remove all containers , could we have a nice workshop / garden machinery shed .  like this one as seen on the SVR last weekend ?
