    A small gang of volunteers were able to complete the tasks indicated below. The weather was sunny, bright and warm especially on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The daily gang size was Friday 6.5; Saturday 5; Sunday 4.5 and Monday 4.

    • Assembled the loop to Guest House turnout at Quarry Siding and measured and fitted closure rails.
    • Completedthe filling of the cross drain West of Brynglas loop with ballast
    • Removed the pedestals from under the exposed sleepers at Bryn Erwest - dropped some ballast and packed/tamped then filled the bays with ballast
    • Sorted sleepers at Wharf
    • Removed the Pandrol plates from the sleepers at Wharf
    • Completed the lining and levelling work on the back road point at Pendre
    • Drinking Tea

    The above work eliminated two speed restrictions and shortened another and returned the loop at Quarry Siding to traffic.

    Very many thanks to all those who were able to help in any way over the four days.
