    The starting point (still a chair, but today with an orange jacket on it) is in the distance by the field boundary. [ATTACH] As you can see we were just 5 people today, plus the digger driver.

    This is the view in the opposite direction, the chair should be there somewhere. [ATTACH] We are currently on target for this working week, but with the help of a NR gang on a community service to thingy, which really gave us a boost! Thanks,...

    Today was a long day track laying - nine hours. I was pooped, and am currently recovering in my hotel room with a bottle of Malbec... We laid five track panels today, one more than the average of four required to to meet our target of joining up...

    I am hoping 9129 will stay in use beyond the extension. It's ideal for things like getting forestry teams to work sites, where presently we have to use a DMU.

    Patience! Track laying is generally one week per month, not every week. You ask when our wonderful K&ESR volunteer P Way team will run out of trackbed - the construction programme anticipates we run out of trackbed on which to lay any more track...
