The new station takes shape
Marsh Barton Exeter
David Tozer

Roger and Keith,

I had an early morning visit to Marsh Barton this morning. I had heard that photography was restricted. Taking photographs does give one challenges in addition the sun was rising also. Quite a bit of progress has taken place. Work was taking place on both sides of the line before 0830. Good to see a sign thatstated this was to be the location of Marsh Barton Railway Station. Thank goodness they did not use the word 'Train Station'.

A charming picture. Note the ladies either side waiting patiently for the barriers to lift whilst Dad conveys a 'shoulder bourne' infant across the bridge - I hope he was careful coming down the steps! Many thanks Paul.
