Work continues

Gradual progress is being made, with Holzapfel restored to the network, albeit with further work required.

With the long viaduct completed, attention has turned to some work at Birkenhof. Additional battens to raise the height of the front edge have been installed, providing a better ballast retainer. In one area, a small "rock armour" section of larger stones was used to block a gap.

One light at Birkenhof has been repaired, but sadly another, rather nice, lamp has suffered probably from the blackbirds and is unlikely to be restorable.
