No trains today........

This one will probably be appreciated by @Montfrooij as theres something very different on the line today.

Fun fact just after this shot one of the crew started waving at the drone.  



Taken with Mini 3 Pro.

thanks.  Sadly they disappeared and I never found them doing any work so they must have gone quite the distance.

You're welcome.

With these rubber tires, they were at least ment for doing that.

Nice find and great capture DA.    Got to keep those rails maintained for sure.

I checked this morning and they shouldn't be on the road beyond loading and unloading,  they had a big trailer there so I guess thats what they had done.

Sadly I lost where they went so I didnt manage to capture any of the work they were doing,    but all the machinery has come back so my guess is it will continue at the weekend.

Yes indeed,  sadly I lost where they went so it must have been a good distance from where they were loading.

Ah ok, makes sense.

Maybe they have a general purpose yard nearby?

I did notice on the road some dark tyre marks so they must have soft rubber.

No that I know of,    I suspect they headed towards London,   they have returned back to the station so they may go back out on Sunday again,  I will see if they are announcing engineering works and if they are  I will go that way instead.

I don't know much about these. Other than that I see them on our roads (close to the worksite for sure).

So another opportunity to catch them at work may soon be at hand.

Nice that you are so persistent in your endeavors.

Some say I nothing but persistent.

I like this saying....Persistent people begin their success where others end in failure.
