Are you one of the residents who have had a letter from Network Rail? I haven't but I have seen it and it looks like a lot of inconvenience for some people who wont be able to have access, other than walking backwards and forwards to their homes. Just how will that work. Will they have to leave their vehicles on the other side. I am of course talking about Soss Lane, where there is one way in and one way out. They talk about full road closure with access maintained for residents with transport provided between residents houses and the bridge area. Are they going to provide a car park on the village side where they can pickup and leave their cars? Let's not forget we have a doctor down Soss, although everybody is just as important, and business people.
It's going to be a bit noisy on Station Road with the noise of lorries and machinery and at some point they are working 24 hours a day. I don't suppose for one moment they are going to raise the bridge, that would create a vast expense in raising the track on either side for miles. UB/92 they call Gainsborough Road bridge, surely that should be Marsh Lane bridge or Misterton bridge, where does Gainsborough Road come into it?
Will Stobarts bring in the new bridge to UB/92, if so will they remember to come in on the right side? Or will they do it by cranes from the track. Last time they brought in a crane on Soss Lane, they got stuck, wrong crane ordered. Logistics not good. They started all this last year and had to run the job, will this year be more successful. Well we should be back to normal by the 17th October, according to the letter. Shall we have bets?
Still it should all be very interesting to watch and see how your taxes are spent.
