Pegging Out!

Not me(I hope!) but work carried out by Alan and Gordon to establish the levels around the proposed Broadway platform area. Alan's description of the work as follows:-

".....The pegs are on a straight line as an alignment aid for when the old platform foundations are dug out and we just have a long big hole! The pegs are 8m from the edge of the platform foundations. There may be a slight curve in the old platform as the foundations are not quite in a straight line (but the pegs are) - but could just be uneven. Bottom line is that if we want a longer (8 coach) platform then we will probably have to curve the platform to conform with the slight curvature of the overall alignment in the section. ...."





Excellent diagram curtesy of Gordon showing the sight curve of the old platform plus a view of the original platform.
