Track Clearing & Reccying

Waldersea Yard

Today, just a small team of the Civil Engineers Department were again clearing up the site at Waldersea for a few hours, where a fair amount of vegetation was cleared away, making the area look that much cleaner, instead of the eyesore it once got to be
This was finished before going on to check other areas of the line and while being towards the Wisbech end, steam could be seen rising above the track in the distance, but sadly no locomotive producing it. Perhaps if we had a few more volunteers to help, then we just Might get to see steam along this line once again, and sooner, rather than not at all?


The Department are now out twice a week subject to the weather, and as well as Sundays at present, they are also seen out and about on a Wednesday, should anybody else wish to come along and help with this project? If you wish to come along, then pick up that phone and call us on 07591769180, or E-mail raymond2010bramleyline@hotmail.co.uk for further details.

Work Party




On Sunday 16th January, the usual Civil Engineers Deparment team were again on track at Waldersea, doing further improvements to the lineside, in removing brambles roots then piling them up ready for disposal. Despite some strong winds cutting across the nearby fields, this didn't stop the team, while a brew break did for a short while. It's marvellous what can be achieved in just a matter of hours by just a few, but what could be done by double the regular amount?


It seems strange that members from Essex area can get there on a Sunday, while those more local have difficulty. So, come on you local members, come and join us, as this Is for the community we are doing this, and when we do get to run services, you'll be wanting to travel on the line.

If you have a transport problem, then please either E-mail Raymond at the given address, or phone him on the Bramley Line mobile, because he doesn't bite. That way, we can at least try to help with arrangements, so as you can help. If you can't get there on a Sunday, then how about a Wednesday?

Sunday 9 January 2011

The Civil Engineering Dept were out on Sunday 9th Jan and started work on clearing the Waldersea Yard for the coming year. The air was exhilerating, and the banter just as good as before. Those who bothered to come along, sure kept warm, and without a bonfire.

To say we were extremely disappointed in the turnout for work, despite it being on here, plus there is now a contact number, as just the usual team of people turned out, is putting it mildly. So, unless there are more volunteers willing to help with this work, the line might as well close, as a bad job.

If any volunteers have problems with transport, please contact us, so we can at least try to arrange something?
