Title: Some ballast Post by: Red Squirrel on April 14, 2018, 17:12:39 Some nice fresh ballast, ready for track - maybe even a station. But where's it to?
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: johnneyw on April 14, 2018, 17:54:09 The Filton Bank? Constable Road?

Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: JayMac on April 14, 2018, 18:54:26 In yer back garden having surreptitiously raided the Network Rail compound in the dead of night? :P
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: onthecushions on April 14, 2018, 19:13:28 Looks like the sea wall at Dawlish OTC Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Surrey 455 on April 14, 2018, 19:55:42 Is it covering an enormous pothole?
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: SandTEngineer on April 14, 2018, 21:22:46 Saw it all today, together with the fresh sleepers ;)
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Red Squirrel on April 14, 2018, 22:46:14 Not Filton Bank, not Dawlish - but somewhere in Bristol
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Red Squirrel on April 15, 2018, 13:24:59 Saw it all today, together with the fresh sleepers ;) The sleepers used here will be distinctly stale. Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: grahame on April 15, 2018, 13:26:28 Clifton Rocks Railway? Hard to see the angle of the picture.
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: johnneyw on April 15, 2018, 14:15:41 I'm toying with the notion that it is not Network Rail and trying to think if I have seen anything being done recently to the Bristol Port Railway.
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Red Squirrel on April 15, 2018, 15:13:31 Ooh, now you're getting very warm johnneyw...
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: johnneyw on April 15, 2018, 15:42:30 Here goes, the Bristol Port Railway near the where there have been repairs to the Chocolate Path? Stale sleepers, stale Chocolate? See how I referenced your earlier clue?
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Red Squirrel on April 15, 2018, 17:09:52 Close enough. It's the area between 'A' Bond and Cumberland Road. All the old track is piled up, along with the steel framework of the platform, where it was pushed aside to make way for JustaBus®. Not sure when they plan to put it back, but there's a nice bed for it when they do...
JustaBus is not really a registered trade mark. Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Bmblbzzz on April 16, 2018, 13:33:54 JustaBus is not really a registered trade mark. You could register it yourself. :DTitle: Re: Some ballast Post by: SandTEngineer on April 16, 2018, 17:18:31 ....mmm. It did look the same as the bit I saw last Saturday between Stapleton Road and Filton Abbey Wood ::) :P
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: Red Squirrel on April 16, 2018, 20:35:52 Similar, I will grant you, but the pointing here is a much higher class :)
Title: Re: Some ballast Post by: rower40 on April 17, 2018, 08:22:04 Can’t be Network Rail new build. If it were, then each stone would have its own part number, serial number, and a GA drawing to show how they fit together. Then another installation copy, and a testing copy with ticks to show that each piece was in the right place.
