Coldham Level Crossing gates

On Wednesday, March 10th the group where back out to carry on with the works to improve the look of the crossing at Coldham. In the weeks leading up to the Sponsored Walk, the group cleared a lot of vegetation around the crossing.

The day started by Sanding down the crossing gates. During this time we spoke to a number of local people. This is how the gate looked before the work started.

After the work today, which was only to the gate, March side, the gate now looks like this

The view looking from the other side

This gate will probably need another coat before it is finished. It will then be given a Red Target again. Similar work will be carried out on the Wisbech side gate on Sunday, March 14th.

The Bramley Line is always looking for new members and volunteers to help us improve the railway line and work towards obtaining the lease of the line and returning Heritage Rail services to the Branch. There is much work needs to be done to do this, and the more volunteers we get, the quicker and better we can get the work done. If you wish to get involved, please get in touch. bramley_line@yahoo.com

Currently, Volunteers undertake work most Sundays and Wednesdays on the line, but also attend many fundraising events, such as Model Railway Exhibitions, Car boots and other local events.
