Carriage & Wagon - restoration & maintenance
article by: Garry Owen
C&W is based at Winchcombe in the old Goods Shed and its
recent extension. You will be responsible for the restoration,
repair and maintenance of all passenger and goods rolling stock on
the railway providing varied and interesting work for members of
this department. All kinds of practical work is undertaken
involving carpentry, upholstery, general DIY and electrical. If you
are able to offer good experience in any of these areas then you
will be made most welcome by a department that attends at weekends
and on some weekdays.
Attached to C&W is the Carriage Cleaning Team that give our
operational carriages a thorough clean, inside and out, including
windows and toilets, thus supporting our good relationship with our
travelling public. Works midweek when our timetable permits. Also
on a weekly basis our First Line Services Team deals with minor
repairs and routine inspections of our operational carriages. A
period of experience working in C&W will help.
