Work has begun at Glossop Station by Network Rail and their contractors Story Rail on the renovation/ refurbishment of the open platform and the canopy. Significant progresshas been made in just one week with the platform stripped of much of its orignal surface and the tiles on the roof removed . Heavy netting has been placed at ceiling level making it look like the set for I'm a Celebrity - Get me out of here!! Some passengers have asked whether our Christmas decorations will have a fish theme this year! Much of the work is being done overnight so we are conscious there is a lot of noise for surrounding residents. Network Rail has sent letters of explanation to surrounding streets. One consequence of the work is that the trains are stopping well short of the canopy - much longer walks to/from the trains are required - in the first few days it was definitely a station for the bewildered! FOgs is grateful for the commounications/ suppotr it is receiving about this work from Karen at Network rail and Chris at Story Rail. They are aware that it is the Christmas event on Saturday.
