In line with our decision to keep up the mommentum of securing the line, it's business as usual at the Bramley Line this weekend with work being carried out at Coldham Level Crossing. A lot of vegetation has been building up around the crossing gates. Work to tidy the site up started today, with the aim of Coldham Level Crossing having a major improvement over the next few months.
This shows a very good before and after shot of this side of the crossing.
This was once the pathway to cross the railway. The sleepers are rotten and as you can see the vegetation has built up. This was all cut down.
Vegetation starting to poke through the holes in the fence. This will soon be completely trimed back.
At the start of the day, you could not see this fence and there was a lot of vegetation coming from under the gate, this has now been trimmed back too as you can see here.
On the other side of the road, the fence has a lot of weeds and vegetation coming through the fence. This has all been cut away apart from the bit on the left hand side which is infact a tree, which will be cut away in the coming weeks.
This shows a very good before and after shot of this side of the crossing.
The Bramley Line is committed to re-opening this line as a Community Heritage railway, there for local people in the towns of Wisbech, Coldham and March and the surrounding areas. We know the line will struggle to re-open as part of the national network, and in particular with the plans proposed by ATOC. All the work we do is done by Volunteer members of the Bramley Line, who give up there time to help make this work.
The Bramley Line is always looking for new volunteers to come and help. We need volunteer helpers in all sorts of areas, from Marketing to Track Workers. No Experience is necessary and there is no upper age limits or minimum number of hours you need to do, so whether your 18 and can help on the odd occasion between studies, or 65 and recently retired looking for something new to do and can help most days, everyone's welcome.
If you would like to get involved, please contact us by e-mailing bramley_line@yahoo.com.

The Bramley Line group will be launching its “Raise a Wagonload of Cash” Appeal to the public for the first time to help raise the £10,000 needed. So as you can see, there is lots going on at the Bramley Line!
