If it’s green, it shouldn’t be seen

This week we met back at Sainsbury’s for the 18:00 express train. After checking all passengers had valid travel tickets, we were off full steam ahead! This train was heading straight through to Steam Museum. Consisting of two carriages, one running and one walking, today’s train driver Sam opted for a more scenic route but ensured a smooth ride without delays. There was definitely no quiet carriage on this train!
This evening we were back at the Traverser armed and ready to, once again, conquer those persistent pesky weeds. The brief tonight was short and simple, “if it is green then it shouldn’t be seen”. Naturally separating into equal sized groups we each choo choosed a section of the track to conquer. 45 minutes later and all those weeds had been steam rolled, doomed to the confines of a black bin liner. We then finished the task with a nice group photo stood on the Traverser with the warm evening summer sunshine setting behind us.
After a quick tidying up, it was all aboard for the return leg, arriving safely into this week’s temporary station on time. Next week, we’ll be meeting Mike who will lead us to the other side of the railway line for a much needed tidy up ahead of the Heritage Open Days! If you can lend a hand, please sign up here.
