The completed fence

The day started slowly due to a meeting about H&S first thing. Much driving by our main photographer Jim H mean that we only have a limited selection of pictures to show you, all on further work on the fence panels mounted last week.

Jim H and Roger did two round trips to deliver the C&M scaffold tower bits to the CRC booking office, where it will be used for their next job, which is to repaint the overhanging canopy.





During this time Mike painted the fence panels in undercoat, and after lunch Jim took over, as you can see in this picture.








After his trips in the Transit with Jim H, Roger continued with grouting the slabs on P2, and others carried out a general tidying up of the whole area, including the re-distribution of some spoil

Fence panels installed, seen from the inside.
New fence panels, seen from the race course side, with Jim applying undercoat in the distance.
A final shot of the new fence panels, looking south along the footpath from the level crossing.
Rob took the 4 pictures, as our usual correspondent was busy painting (or attending H&S meetings, or driving the Transit around).

The final trip with the Transit was to recover the Heras fencing panels that used to surround the fencing site, as well as their feet. They just managed to squeeze on to the back.

  1. The completed fencing looks very good and SO much better than the temporary Heras fencing.

  2. FINE RESULT AT CRC , well done to all .

    May I seek your help at our Food & Drink Fayre weekend 19/20th October , where we require Crossing Monitors at Toddington and Winchcombe , the latter is important as we shall have 16 exhibitors , 6 on picnic area on Platform 2 so there will be visitors going between the Tim Mitchell exhibitors and across to P2 .

    If any of you can do a AM or PM shift , please email me on - dailymayell@gwsr.com and copy - events@gwsr.com so we can prepare a Roster and avoid a last minute panic with a VA as so often happens .

    I hope that you will join us with families and do some shopping in October

  3. Jo is unable to transmit any blogs until next week as his telephone line has developed a fault and BT are waiting for a cherry picker to investigate.
    Can I thank him for all the hard work he puts into these blogs after a day's work on the railway.
