Quick trip up to Midford today - and was presented with this picture of neatness and tidiness! It's amazing how much has been achieved here with just a few people in just over a year.
The bases of both the oil store and the station building are now clear to see, so hopefully it won't be long before rebuilding starts. That is when the New S&D revival at this end of the line will become really exciting!

Hmmm, looking at the photos without blinkered vision I'm surprised to still see weeds growing on the station. I thought these things died over the Winter and grew again in the Spring. When is the best time to apply the weedkiller?
ReplyDeleteHats off to everyone involved. It looks fantastic. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe mild weather's meant that things have hardly stopped growing this 'winter'. I think things really get going in late March to April.
ReplyDeleteWhere exactly was the tablet exchange apparatus set up?
ReplyDeleteNext to the signalbox, now in the pub carpark.
ReplyDeleteI did suggest glysophate last year but it was not received very well.
ReplyDeleteTime for a rethink ???
What do you think about glysophate Stuart?
ReplyDeleteLook back at last years photos!
Yes,you have made progress but you have to start again every visit.
It may appear to be dangerous stuff but you'r not trying to grow food or fruit on the platform or the walls.
Give the idea some consideration.
I wish I was young and fit enough to come and help.
