Pushing North towards Wisbech at Speed...

This Sunday, the Civil Engineering team were out working on the railway as per usual. We had a good number of volunteers this Sunday, and managed to push further north than we expected. Having done a lot of tree clearing between March Elm Road and Chain Bridge, the section between Chain Bridge and Coldham appears to have very few trees which need dealt with, and very few brambles at the March end, it's all Grass.

This is great news, as the grass is fairly easy to get up and once the lease is obtained, it will go very easily with Weedkiller.

Some photos from the day are shown below:

While the work goes on, our chairman keeps up to date on the latest news

You wont find any gold treasure, just some rusty bolts!

Everyone having a well earned rest. Now your seated, we will begin!

Now a couple of photos to let you compare the before and after:
As you can see, lots of grass, no trees close to the line and no Brambles!

So far, the team having started at the end of August, have cleared a lot of the line. The map below show's how we are getting on


Moving forward, it's a busy week this week on the Bramley Line. Some members of the Civil Engineering Team will be out working to clear vegetation from Weasenham Lane Level Crossing working towards March. Although this is currently happening when people are available, it is the intention to start a Wisbech Mid Week and Weekend Team to work towards March, hopefully meeting up with the March to Wisbech team somewhere in the Waldersea area eventually.

So if your available this Wednesday day time, we are meeting at approx 10.30am at Weasenham Lane Level Crossing.

Also on Wednesday, it's our Wisbech Meeting being held at 19.30 at St Peters Church Hall, Upper Rooms. This is a great way to meet people who are interested in getting the Railway off the ground and finding out how to get involved.


On Sunday, October 4th, the Civil Engineering team will be taking a break from Track Clearing, to erect some more fencing at March, Elm Road Crossing. If you are interested in getting involved, we will be there from 10am until approx 4pm. All Welcome.
