Bank Holiday Monday

7th May 2018

Hot & Sunny

As the weatherman predicted, it was a very hot and sunny day for the five BAG volunteers who turned in for work today.
We had some early arrivals over Broadway at 7.30am. They were not stopping for a train!

Gardening

Vic was doing his bit in clearing the grass and weeds from around the flower beds at the bottom of the drive.

The special arrangement at the north end of Platform 1 has burst into bloom.

Bridge Strike

As reported on BBC West Midlands News, our bridge had suffered yet another lorry hit. Damage to Zig Zag sign and bits left behind can be seen in the next two photos.

Café and Kitchen

John C was busy fitting skirting boards and a frame around the kitchen entrance.

Sorry about the fuzzy picture, my phone battery was running low.

Paving

A team of three, Terry, Rod & John S, were leveling the ground, fitting edging and laying slabs to finish off the area at the north end of the station building.

Rod was moving so fast!!!!

Trains

As it was a Bank Holiday, trains were running according to the Red Timetable so lots of passenger's disembarked to go into Broadway Village. Either to walk or catch the Shuttle Bus.

Dinmore Manor arriving from Cheltenham.

Picnicking

Several passengers, whilst waiting for the next train, sat on the platform edge. We need some more benches was the request. Sponsors wanted!!

End of The Line
