With only 9 weekends to go before the 2018 running season starts on 24th March, we have a lot of cleaning and tidying up to do before the first train pulls into the station. This weekend we started on the outside of the station building, clearing the leaves off the top of the canopy using a brush head and rope mechanism we put together and used successfully last winter. Work also started on the cleaning up of the garden area next to the waiting room, which, just like the rest of the platform received its fair share of leaf’s this year!
Work on the 2nd platform is due to commence again, a couple of the shutters used for the main foundation wall are being modified to enable the North & South Ramp down to be poured in a couple of weeks time weather permitting. It is hoped to get the platform wall completed as quickly as possible so that work can start on the footbridge foundations. Further updates to follow over the next few weeks.
