Wed 6th March 2019 - Sandown Railway Station. GG # 775.

Mark's Photographs.



You can see just how overgrown it all was..!



Never too much Health and Safety 😏


Just shout when you want us to stop.



Already looking better...


..and the last sweep through.


Nice hat..!

Although we have visited this venue several times in the past, it has been some time since we were last working at the station. Having all met up in the car park, it was off to the Lake side of the platform to work on the sloping ramp that leads up from the road. There is a tiered garden area adjoining the pathway which looked as though it hadn't seen much attention since we last gave it a make-over, some years ago 😏 Team GG soon got stuck into the job and...with the problem gate padlock stopping easy access to the adjacent roadway area...a plucky few scrambled over the fence to deal with the arisings. Having to keep the walkway open at all times for pedestrians and rail users kept us on our toes but somehow we managed it..! Come tea time, it was back through the tunnel and into the Gaslight cafe for hot drinks and wonderful cake. Several GGmers remarked on how comprehensive (and reasonably priced) the menu was.... so much so that some were going to eat there at lunchtime.
Post tea break it was back to completing the task. The weather was rather grey and overcast but the forecasted rain held off until after 1pm.

Many thanks to Ali at the Gaslight cafe for the excellent service and refreshments at tea break.🍰👍.

Thanks to Mark for taking the photographs this week.
