The first part of the safety works at the Radstock end were completed in the rain on Sunday. This is the down line sliding buffers, a feature unique on Britain's railways. This is designed to take the impact of a runaway on the 1 in 53 (flattening to 1 in 330) grade through the station. Further work will include a shingle trap and bund, giving 100% protection to Silver Street. This will serve until the bridge is replaced.
The gazebo is missing in the final shot because it blew away!
