| First deliveries on the Childswickham Road |
The demolition of the centre platform at Honeybourne is now well under way and the transfer of materials to Broadway has started in earnest. I hope this first consignment are representative of all the bricks - the old ash mortar has disintegrated nicely, making reclamation that much easier.

Here Rod and Andy set off to bring the first batch from Childswickham Road back onto site. As predicted the bricks are are mixture of red, blue and brindles, but we will put them all to good use in Platform 1A.

Post Script : Robin Elliott, in between medical procedures, joined us for the day on brick cleaning duties. Having sent them off from Wisley on Wednesday he was cleaning them on Saturday. Dedication I think!

Please can you move Broadway station over to Essex so I can come and help too!!
I would be grateful if you could explain how platform 1A fits into the scheme of things. Will it be an extension of platform one? Is it being built as a completely separate (i.e. isolated) entity to start with?
Best wishes,

Hi Nigel,
Sometimes I wish the station was in Essex too!
Platform 1A will eventually be the southern end of the platform we have just built. There is an enforced gap between the two at the moment for site access.
Keep following!

Yes this blog does wonders for my optimism. I try to pay a visit to GWSR whenever possible and spend a few pounds. Keep going everyone, how wonderful to have a worthy goal.
Re: the demolition of the centre platform at Honeybourne, obviously it's a great source of bricks for Broadway but aren't we going to have to rebuild the platform at Honeybourne at some point anyway??
