Hello Keith, this was Hayle on Saturday morning, arriving on the 08.13 bus from Penzance, hope you get these ok, then I will leave you in peace.
All the best,   Roger  The slog is nearly over, well done Roger, and many thanks.  Mick will be sending pictures to you.

The short lengths of rail were then removed and placed centrally to act as guide rails in the event of a derailment. The new continously welded rail was fitted into vacated fastenings.
