This past week and a bit has been all about getting ready for today's incoming railtour off the main line. As well as visual track inspections and yet more cutting back encroaching vegetation, we had some long planned spot- resleepering between the River Wiske viaduct and Ladyfield UWC which we thought it prudent to get out the way first.
This was facilitated by a further delivery of nice new softwood sleepers which arrived the week before last from our supplier down in Lincolnshire. In total we replaced 66x life-expired specimens through what was a particularly poor and neglected length of track. A fair amount of winter firewood was also produced, with the brash disposed of on the usual roaring bonfires.
