A rather misty morning for a flight of the Mavic2Zoom today, to take a nosey at the work going on around the railway signal box nearby.
Maximum zoom only revealed this much. The work has been going on for a couple of months now. I shall have to get closer

Interesting shot Mr. B.    Looks like they have formed up a new concrete foundation.  However, it isn't that big so no idea what they might put on top of the foundation. Whatever it is they sure seem to be taking their time to get the job done.

Only if your busy schedule permits and the weather cooperates.  Just another rainy day in paradise here.

Yep. Steady drizzle here this morning, so any progress on that investigation is out

I would imagine so. Otherwise why invest in so much ground work.
I'll get closer on foot and send the Mini3Pro in for a detailed inspection

Im not aware of any on my local two lines.   Could it be grade 2 listed or something historical?

Nice shot, You'll have to go back periodically and track the progress. I aways find these kind of subjects interesting.

I went and asked the workmen themselves
Under-pinning and new drains, then renovation.
Once the site is cleared, by next week, i'll go back for a closer look
