Congratulations to George Law  Ltd who today began the final clearance work on the Evesham Road Bridge. It looks a treat! John Baldestone who is managing the implementation of the  Bridges to Broadway Project,  was there first thing  this morning to watch bridge No 1 of the five under repair, emerge from its wraps and have much of the scaffolding removed. John can feel well pleased with the result.

Up on site  8 volunteers were doing there bit to add to the smart appearance of bridge, when viewed from the west, by clearing the embankment by the bridge. This will give a clear view up to the Bracket  Signal. It will really begin to look like a GWR  Railway! Thanks to all who stuck at this job all day - working on the embankment all day hits your knee joints - respect goes to the line side clearance team!








Here the view from the  Signal Box Scaffolding. Squint and it looks like a loco on the horizon - regrettably just the compulsory bonfire!












Talking of the Signal Box work was progressing nicely on the brickwork and the floor joists. Bob W, Tony and John S were steadily moving things forward.

Tony here producing some half bricks for the doorway - not the easiest of tasks!

I had to leave early today so I didn't get a chance to thank the BAG Volunteers  - there were 16 in total. A full set of pictures on the bridge on Wednesday!
