Monday 21st - No Ghostbusters.

 Only 8 for carriage cleaning today, our lowest turnout since last September. 

Ghostbuster operative  number 1 - just had a replacement hip operation.

Ghostbuster operative number 2 - just had a replacement knee operation. The other knee was done last year.

Reserve Ghostbuster operative - on holiday.

There were 3 others on holiday, 2 unavailable and 1 unknown.

So a busy day, but interesting. Here is 26043 on its way to the Epping and Ongar railway.

Rake 2 in P1 and rake in P2, first time this way round for 6 weeks.

As usual Tim and Chris were on washing duties.

And the entire rest of the team in this one photo at tea break. The inside team.

Kath, Val, Roger C, Steve and Nick with his back to the camera. Yours truly of course behind the camera.

With toilet operative number 1 on holiday and number 2 unavailable it was Kath who got promoted to toilet cleaner. The others did windows, tables, floors. I put the Gtech through "Mary" and helped with the floors. At the end while the others did final bits I helped the outside team for a short while.

Just after lunch the new weed killing train appeared, having already been down to Cheltenham. Here it is coupling to rake 2 to pull it out of the way.

And now in operation.

Finally a warning for all who arrive at Toddington from the Broadway direction.

Severn Trent are digging up the road.
