Monday 18th - That Was The Year That Was

 For the Cleaning Team this was the last visit of this year. So 5 at Winchcombe and 8 at Toddington.

Kath at work in "Mary".

And then doing what we do best - Tea Break!

The outside team of Paul Tim and Peter (in orange) with Steve checking in. They prefer being outside - they weren't banned!

And inside Kath, Val, Roger C and Steve.

Thanks to Paul and Dennis who washed the Malvern side of rake 2 last week -  members of our team who were at the railway over the weekend noticed the improvement, as did the "Away" team today.

Being ex train spotters we like numbers, so the stats are 358 train sides were washed this year and there were 397 volunteer days from the team.

Normally we have finished until March but as mentioned last week we plan to start in mid January on the parts we don't normally have time for. Weather permitting of course.

Trains are running after Christmas 27th December - 1st January. Not up to Broadway as the Stanway Viaduct is under repair. The unexpected extra has come in at £270k with work extended in to March. The Appeal is still open of course! Viaduct Appeal

Season's Greetings from the Cleaning Team.
