OLE update 24th April

This will be the last post for ten days as I will be away. Next post will be on 6th May.  The gantries seen laying on the embankment on Sunday have now been erected.  This happened very quickly on Monday.  Today I could see that some had also been erected at both ends of the viaduct although there were none on the middle section over the ECML.  Landscaping work was still on going whilst I was there.
East end of the viaduct with gantries in evidence
 Different style on the embankment just after the viaduct.  More still lying on the ground presumably for the middle section of the viaduct.
 Two more newly erected gantries looking towards the quarry.
 And more further round towards the junction.  There was a cluster of rail mounted machines in the distance but they were too far away to see exactly what they were.
 Now by the scrapyard, two of the new gantries on the viaduct.
 Changing the angle slightly an access platform was positioned with two workers on the far side of the viaduct.  This makes me think the next two gantries will be on the other side like the first one at this end.
 A closer look at one of the new gantries.
 A digger works on the lower ground by the viaduct.

While a bulldozer moves earth on the higher ground.  No gantries here at the moment.
