More at Gotherington

 Tues 27th August 

A bit more work required at Gotherington today. The reconditioned ground signal which has now been cleaned and painted is ready for replacement on its new foundation block.

It's too heavy to transport fully assembled so today just the base casting is being bolted down. The fittings will be put on next week

The cables routed down the Cotswold side of the track here are in need of proper burial and the track circuit feed cables are being re-routed. So a bit more ballast digging required:

A lot tidier now for the cables between the signal and the lineside cabinet adjacent to the line crossing at the end of the platform. The cabinet has also had a coat of silver paint:
