It will be interesting to see how they are going to hide that lot with the flanges looking so high or whether the front kerb will come past it and then it will be fenced off from the kerb. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donington Road Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Very slow progress at Lincoln Road and Hurn Road. Anglian Water are still looking in to the holes they dug last week. The track bed towards Glinton Junction has not really changed. A white carpet has been laid so the excavator doesn't muddy the new ballast. Two new flights of steps were installed last week down the 'very steep embankment' . Can't have those workers tabogganing down the slope when the snow comes. The Shotcrete looks a bit rough, perhaps it is waiting for the plasterer to skim over it. At Hurn Road the only activity going on was the fixing the railing to the new retaining wall. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Richard E Posted December 2, 2020 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 2, 2020 Not that I could see. Still moving sand and ballast in to the dive under from the south through the old Thomas Cook site. They were running dumper trucks across the Stamford lines around midday. Looking at train times I'm thinking that they had a possession. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at train times I'm thinking that they had a possession. Bit of a waste of time going up to Lincoln Road, it started to drizzle so I scurried back towards home with the intention of going to Cock Lane, then it rained as I got nearly home so I called it day. So no photos to post of Cock Lane. I wonder how they are managing the temporary possession? What I have seen recently is that there is no one to be seen with stop signs, lamps and detonators like there was a few months ago. The only person to appear occasionally is someone with a broom to sweep the mud off the crossing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donington Road Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Got a call from my good friend Trackside ECML this morning to come and have a look at Cock Lane. The Marholm Brook is in flood to such an extent that Morgan Sindall have had to cut a channel from it into Brook Drain to relieve the water. The new drainage system is obviously not working so I can see the re-instatement of the overflow pipe having to be put back in. Sorry no photos or video. I arrived there without taking my camera . How the hell did I manage to do that? Hopefully there should be a video later by Trackside ECML. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems someone may have misjudged the amount of water and the flows. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if developers ever ask local people with knowledge of these events before they make any descisions to the requirements needed? I thought not 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
