Work has continued on our road one turnout, giving access to both roads of the rail vehicle shed. All riser plates have been installed, both blades and Wynn Williams spring switch fitted and made operational.

Next up is the road two turnout, which is located between the completed points and the double slip. A small amount of excavation is required to prepare the formation and drainage. We have most of the components needed for the turnout, which will be laid out as soon as the excavation is done.
