The first consignment of concrete sleepers has arrived on site.
Pandol clips will need to be purchased to secure rails to the sleepers before the sleepers can be used.
The line at the entrance to the FOTR yard has been aligned to the centre of the entrance gate.
The original panel has been removed and a custom built bridging rail has been put into place.
The set of right hand points has been moved into place and connected to the bridging rail.
Three panels have been moved into place on the right hand turnout of the points and will be connected once the alignment of the track has been checked.
The points sleepers are being replaced.
