Amazing work there. I shall look forward to seeing GWR benches and and tubs of flowers sat on it. Not long now. :)
One thought occurs, I know new platforms have to have the rippled edge because health and safety rules imply the hard of sight might walk off the edge of the platform. Are heritage lines exempt from this, or is it just a Network Rail thing?
Stuart, A tricky one this - tactile paving is mandatory for public rail transport but as far as I know is not yet mandatory for heritage railways. Of course it can't be any old tactile paving, the pimples have to be layed out so they point to the edge of the platform. All quite expensive I should imagine!.
Thanks to you and others for your supportive comments.

Bill, without your blog, we would never be aware of how much progress is being made as nothing ever appears on the "official" GWRS website!
Keep up the great work!
amazing now for a running in board!
