Hercules - platform fence

Post by John Ashworth »

There's a slight bank at the back of the platform so we're putting up a safety fence to stop people tripping over it. The fence will also help to funnel passengers from the car park to the checking in desk.

barrier between the public and train as well as serving the temporary car
park area. The platform for departure is on our left and the sleeper edging
has been recently laid. All that is needed now is the tidying up and a
train to roll out through the open yellow gates!
