A measure of how much people really believe in backing a winner. Can't remember who said it but you can't stop an idea whose time has come. <br /><br />Just curious to ask, as would be terrible if the job list infront of you all got too short... but by how much would people need to over cook the share issue in order for you to decide to go all out on completing the stairs and waiting room and cannopy for platform 2?<br /><br />Can't wait to have a holiday in broadway next year to board a scheduled steam service to cheltenham for lunch. <br /><br />Well done for all the amazing efforts theough the worst months of the year. <br /><br />If i can ask for one thing on behalff of blog land, please can you give an update on drive side also next update? Would love to know how that sides coming along, as isn't covered by the camera.

However, it was a long time ago and I may well be incorrect. Regarding the double track possibility, I understand that the imminent embankment repair will limit the Broadway extension to single track for now but that the embankment could be widened with new material and associated drainage later on when enough people cough up enough funds to get it done. In this respect, I guess heritage railways seem to be like the good ole USA, you can have what you like but you must pay for it! Broadway Station is a shining example of what people get when they do pay for it.

Now does the tamper machine actually be classed as a train? if so then then there's a £10 donation to the Broadway Station fund going in the box as some us have said that it is! Any way all good work by the team, we love the pictures as well.<br />Regards <br />Paul & Marion Paul & Marion Sucksmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15384367780051937185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1845749777682346343.post-64245261106561346272017-03-02T10:27:46.024+00:002017-03-02T10:27:46.024+00:00What actually goes on top of the rafters?

It's a shame about the serious embankment problems on the final stretch into the station. I suppose that means the idea of having a short stretch of double track out of the station is permanently out of the window.
