Latest photos

Took a quick look today at the progress around the work site.  Took a few photos of the latest developments.  First shows the relatively clear area along the former Bedford line embankment looking north from the scrapyard.  Didn't have time for a detailed look.

 I didn't want to go any further as there was an engineering gang working on the overheads on the main line as my next photo just about shows.

I then moved to the end of Wilbury Way and took a few more photos of the developments there.

Looking north towards the Icknield Way, the site has been fenced off and warning notices have gone up.  Although it is not easy to see, a new gate giving access to the sewage treatment works has been installed at the end of the far orange fence.  The second photo, taken from the same spot but further to the right, shows that the haul road has almost reached here.

 Moving round the corner into Hillgate, I took three more shots.  The first two show the partial fencing off of the site.

The final shot looks across to the point where the new line will join the existing Cambridge branch.  The existing embankment has been cleared of tree growth and the Stotfold Road bridge is clearly visible.  The fence posts are in now but the fencing has yet to go up.
