B&H work this week:
Mon to Thur, two workings each night from Swindon Transfer on RTT.
After the work this week and not having being down there recently, had a look around today.
First, to get a couple of other oddments out of the way:
Paddington plat 2 not wired yet.
Reading West curve up line still has contact wire to go up.
Reading West station has the original positions for the piles marked out but no other work has yet taken place.
There are some masts, but not all, south of the station in the Tilehurst Road/A4 bridge areas.
There are then just piles onward through Southcote Jn till after MP38 1/4. There are then masts, some missing, which stop before the M4 bridge where there are also electricity overheads crossing. Don't know if they are low enough to cause a problem.
After a short gap the other side of the M4 bridge there are a number of masts in the cess waiting to go up. Before Theale station there are masts up but nothing through the station.
After Theale most of the masts look up to past the start of Ufton Loop.
There is then basically a gap before the masts start again east of Aldermaston.
No work through Aldermaston, Midgham and Thatcham stations, but otherwise masts nearly all up from east of Aldermaston to just west of Newbury Racecourse station.
Registration arms and drum wire tensioning units are also nearly all up from west of Colthrop crossing to east of Racecourse station.
Photos are Theale(3), Aldermaston (2), Midgham (2) and Thatcham (3).
More to follow.
