Hopefully soon some more news on the footbridge as Bens down over Christmas and he has a recovery on the way over january to do with this, he may also be working on the station lamps at Darley Dale over Christmas. there are always a few issues relating to getting new turntables passed by those who officially do this thing,they are being worked on by the volunteers and the board as we all want to see it up n running very soon, i believe the remaining issues are all minor ones, but as its not my project i cant be 100 percent definite on any of the fine details,more will follow from those doing it boss!! Mr Dyson and myself set to replacing the boarding on the rear of the ex Luffenham box today,by close of play three quarters of the rear have been done, this leaves one large panel and one small one on the rear and two small panels under the window end to finish off next time,i will also cut the pieces for the door which will go when the box goes up. on signalling and telecommunications, david and jim have been working away in Rowsley exchange, repairing various telecomunications items .
