Hi all

Just a note to say work been going on for a while with the embankments ready for the spur and bridge to link both halves of GCR line across main line near the station. Sad to hear they cancelled the electrification of mainline! Can get photos soon if anybody wants to see the progress.

Hi all again

More photos with the crane next to mainline. This is looking left from recycling centre road where the other parts of the bridge should go over it and join the trackbed to GCR Loughborough!
