When 9 of the Monday Cleaning Team turned up on Thursday 15th, this was the scene to greet us :-
Not a carriage in site! Always a risk, but I think this time there has been extra shunting because of the complete re-arranging of the rakes. Suffice to say a lot of shunting was still taking place, so we abandoned any plans to do cleaning. But it was a pleasant day so good to chat.
Later a few of us went to check our shed at Toddington – the roofing felt put on late last year has done an excellent job, it was all dry in there instead of the damp and musty atmosphere found in previous years at the start of the season.
As there are only 2 more Thursdays before trains start running we have assumed more shunting will be happening and so our next outing will be after the first weekend running.
