Moving forward

Despite reports that the weather was to be poor on Sunday, it was actually a very nice day out on the Bramley Line. Work started at 9.30 where we left off two weeks ago in clearing the track heading North towards Coldham. We made Stirling progress with the clearing and some of the photos from the day are shown below.

At the Start of the day, with some clearing having already taken place before the photo was taken looking north towards Coldham.

Bowing down, no really getting to grips with all this grass!. We love grass. Grass stops the weeds growing and is also very easy to clear once the line is up and running.
The view from the track looking back towards March Elm Road. It's looking good, even if we do say so ourselves

Work continues into the early afternoon and the team are moving forward
From a distance, the grass that needs cleared from the Coldham end looking south towards March Elm Road

At the end of the day, the view looking up towards Coldham and the line that has been cleared. The Civil Enginnering Department are continually looking for new and active volunteers. Can you help? If so, please get in touch. E-mail us at office@bramleyline.org.uk.





Also on Sunday, while all the Clearing of vegetation was taking place, another team of volunteers where putting together our stand for the 2009 National Festival of Railway Modelling which is this weekend on Saturday and Sunday at the Excel centre, East of England Showground, Peterborough. We hope to see you there and speak to as many people as we can.

We will have all our merchandise at the show, including two new additions -
These are :-




Wisbech East Replica Platform Tickets - 50p each


An Advance ticket, which once the line is operational, can be exchanged for a Family day rover allowing 2 Adults and 2 Children to travel. These are LIMITED EDITION tickets and cost £10 each, which will offer a significant saving when the line opens, but will not be valid on Special Event days.

We will also have our Sponsor a Sleeper, Bramley Line Mugs, Baseball caps, Polo Shirts, Sweatshirts and Fleeces, as well as some old merchandise available for good prices.

We are stand 134 and we look forward to seeing you there.
