this week's work
Contractors are now in working on the up platform retaining. Most of the work is off camera, but the fencing is now removed and replaced by blue safety netting.
A trench has been dug along the up platform for cabling, now covered up again at this point. The platform will be resurfaced soon.
This is the base of the greenhouse which has been cleared ready for reconstruction in the new year.
This part of the bank has been cleared over the last week (mainly thanks to Mick Knox). Smaller undergrowth is being burned by John Bridges and Aubrey Punter. (Logs are always recycled as firewood in the signalbox and station!)

Thanks for the photos, its looking really good down there, the signal box in particular deserves a special mention. I was hoping to get down for a look before the end of the year but I will have to wait until next year when I get back from my work "holiday"!
Indeed progress can be clearly seen. Hows the track laying coming along any advancements down that end?
Hi good photos im also interested on whats happening with the track laying has it started if not when ?
The tracklaying can't start until planning permission is granted. This may take a while longer yet. The track gang are currently concentrating on the Silver Street end where the protection works are being completed.
The actual relaying towards Chilcompton should be easy, certainly compared to laying the complex track work in the station area.
There was of course track laid on part of the extension earlier this year to enable clearing works to be undertaken, but this was only unballasted temporary track.
