Extension Work
In May, about a mile of the Railway's extension towards Mouldon Hill was brought up to passenger carrying standards. This involved the delivery and
spreading of many loads of new ballast and the subsequent attention of a self-propelled tamper, hired in for the job.
First passengers were carried over the new line during the Railway's GWR 175 Gala in June.
Towards Cricklade
At the other end of the line, the passenger railway has been extended by about 200 yards of siding-quality track in the Cricklade direction. This involved making a crossing over South Meadow Lane. Immediate use is to park rolling stock and free space in other areas of the Railway in time for the GWR 175 Gala in June.
