Having travelled over 2,000 miles with them in the last 10 days there's a lot FGW▸ do get right. However as with life in general you remember the bad times better than the good.

Vortec fencing 'protecting' the workforce?...that's a joke isn't it? From what? Anything moving at under 1mph would get through that. Highl;ighting that there's work going on, maybe....

Make me chuckle when people refer to the "Old Royal Mail Depot" the then new Royal Mail depot was built on the old Reading Signal Works so at last some of the site is "coming home" to railway use

Protecting as in it effectively prevents workers inadvertently stepping on to a live running track. Without any fencing, it's surprisingly easy to do after you've been on site for a few hours and your focus is maybe on a certain aspect of the task in hand. TLM |

It there to set up a "Fenced Green Zone" meaning there is no requirement for Lookouts or Site Wardens. |

Yes fascinating reading (pardon the pun). I remember that hairdressers/barbers in the subway. When the station was last rebuilt the subway at the northern end was curtailed following the closure of the bus station. Now its gone altogether...

Is simply wrapping the new posts for the hoarding in hazard tape sufficiernt? Shouldn't they be cordoned off so visually impaired / blind don't walk into them, but meet the cordon tape first?....

I often wondered why it is necessary to paint the wooden boards for the hording. Apart from looking nice it seems an unnecessary expense. Unless someone can enlighten me |
