Earth works near Theale and west of Aldermaston - railway related?

« on: April 03, 2012, 18:15:46 »

Hi all. On my journey home tonight I noticed that some ground clearing and levelling has been taking place in a field to the west of Theale on the north side of the track just literally on the other side of te railway fencing. It almost looks they are building a car park but it would be a strange place to do do.

There is similar activity between Aldermaston and migham (or possibly west of migham)

Is this connected with any railway works?

And apologies if I have not spelt migham correctly

Does it possibly coincide with where you'd put the work sites for the bridge clearance work for the electrification?

As discussed here: http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=10511.0

Network Rail are doing works between Westbury and Theale over Easter, perhaps related, but I cannot say for sure.

Midgham.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
