Work in progress at Hayle station     Report by Roger Winnen

24/2/2014

 
Our busy reporter Roger Winnen has made a special trip to Hayle station today 24th February 2014 to view the works in progress to improve the safety record at the station by replacing the exisiting, 'well signed' though hazardous level crossing at the Penzance end of the station by a new path utilising an underpass already provided for a local access lane.

Soon this will be a thing of the past, direct access to both platforms will be made utilising the underpass. Potential passengers crossing the line under 'green lights'. 24th February 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

On the up side of the station work is in progress clearing brambles which have grown up and the pathway down the trackbed of the former Hayle Wharves branch, to the left, has been cleaned up. There was at one time a goods loop behind this platform together with sidings and even a loco shed beyond the mini dumper truck. 24th February 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

The Hayle Wharves branch passed over this bridge to gain access to the main line. As this, the underpass, bridge originally carried three tracks it is very wide. 24th February 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

The red light is flashing. Stop! You have been warned! The approaching train is the 10.35 St Erth-Newton Abbot. 24th February 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

Plenty of warning signs at Hayle! Don't run the risk! 24th February 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

The track has been cleared to the former A30. Note the upward incline to the left this is the site of the worlds the first sand drag. It is hoped that in due course this will be cleaned up to reveal the rails which were still present in 2012. Photograph 24th February 2014 Copyright Roger Winnen

Absolutely nothing to do with Rogers Hayle report really - but it is a nice picture showing the same train as in Rogers pictures but this time at St Austell. 24th February 2014. Copyright David Potter
