GLOSSOP STATION BY NIGHT - A NEW FEATURE!
The dramatic night shots of work at Glossop Station reflect the hours of work that Storyrail/ Network Rail personnel have been putting in over the last couple of months between the hours of 00.30 and 05.30. Our lovely new grey hexagonal blocked paved platform can be seen clearly - there have been many compliments about the quality of workmanship and it seems to be quite a unique surface! Neil is mentally noting platform surfaces now as he travels around - sad!! The final sealing took place last week. New platform edging stones have been laid the length of the platform as has a tactile strip. New lighting has made the canopy a lot brighter. Can we have the same illumination inside asks Bunty?! Painting underneath the Canopy is underway. All metal surafces have been stripped of former paint ready for new. The replacement of the glass panels in the roof is however, apparently proving more problematic and, according to Karen and Chris, additional expertise will be needed to replace these. So we must be patient to see new glass panels and the subsequent improvement in daylight! Our thanks to Karen Davidson at Network Rail and Chris Stirling at Storyrail for keeping us in the picture - to Karen for sending us the photos and to Simon for displaying them.
