The cold snap before the onslaught of snow did not hamper
efforts by our contractor to complete the backfill and compaction
of Area 2. Thankfully the worst of the weather hit during the
wind down for the Christmas break.
The accompanying photographs give a very brief update on not the
collapse site one of the sites where addition work is going on to
protect the Railway. This specific site is Far Stanley just
south of Gretton Village. It is another case of where we have
high embankment with extra pressure on the Cotswold side and where
the original drainage has become tired and levels have settled and
changed.
We have existing culverts in place which still work well and it
is a matter of improving the drainage to them.
There will be more, and I will update on these as progress is
made.
