Good Evening Keith,
Apologies for the late submission, but I thought I would forward on some of the photos I took today at Patchway, where it certainly was a Good Friday as the station received the steps, lift tower steel work and main span of its new accessible footbridge.
The remainder of the footbridge will be fitted out over the next few weeks, and open during the summer.
Kind Regards, Dave Field
No need for apologies - everything gratefully received.

33112 passes near The Town Bridge on the Weymouth Tramway on the16th August 1982 with the 09.54 boat train from Waterloo. An assortment of cars of the day line the road with an Austin Maxi most visible at the front by the 33. A Triumph Herald and a Morris Minor Traveller can be seen further along and look closely and there is a Ford Anglia but what is the car next to the Maxi ?
