Busy times at Waldersea

We are sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks, and photos. This is because the person who updates the site has been away. Over the last few weeks, volunteers turnout has been poor mainly because of the cold weather, but also some members visited the Great Central Railways winter steam gala.

Most of the work over the last few weeks has centred on making up and finishing the fencing work at Waldersea. All of the fencing is now down at the crossing. the photo below shows how it was over Christmas and New Year. All the fencing at both Waldersea and Elm Road will soon be given a white gloss, but this is likely to happen after the sponsored walk, when the better weather is here.
As you can see, standing from a distance, the overall look has now massively improved. The photo below shows the full extent of the new fencing at Waldersea. Once this has been glossed we think the whole area around Waldersea will look excellent. It is a shame we can't do something with the other gates, but we will look into this at a later date. The Waldersea depot sign has been resited and will soon be repainted and will look much better. We have also added "Refresh Notices" to say that the work has been carried out by volunteers of the Bramley Line.
Work this Sunday will take place again at Waldersea. The main object over the next few weeks will be working on Clearing work between Waldersea and Coldham, to clear a path through the Brambles on the line for our Sponsored Walk on Sunday March 7th.
More details of the sponsored walk can be found at our website by clicking here.
