Thanks Neill. I was on site on Saturday and am out again today. I'll share some from inside soon when I sort my photos and am not really tired!

Yep, pretty certsinn they will be 'blanking boards' to prevent the signal from being seen from the wrong line.

Yep. Cranes are assessed for their ability to foul the line with their loads (with restrictors in place of course) and also risk assessed for worst case, shoud they collapse etc. Out of that comes an assessment that some lifts are safe to do with the railway open and some require the railway to...

That looks great neill - Well done. :)

Quite! That one's out of my control though.... :lol: 1714352258 Fab video. I'm going to circulate that internally too!

Thanks! What they said!

Thanks neill. Great pics. The new bridge will indeed link Addenbrookes road to the farm land. Dukes LC has already been taken out of use, but the farmer is currently using Websters LC (the one near the footbridge to the South of the site) to access the fields. The bridge will allow access...

I'd agree with you. The stock will have an ECS headcode (5xxx) when it comes into the station, so it will just sit there with it until it's modified or joined into another headcode.

We recently issued a second time lapse video. Which made me check whether I'd ever posted the first timelapse video - not sure I did. Here's both of them. Enjoy! Recent one showing crane lifts: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eqsN2ubhvOD-zFUmIFzcVJtX_Y7VHHgI/view?usp=sharing Earlier one...

There is currenly at least, no network rail standard for PV panels. Each project assesses panels based on ite issues. Fire risk, maintenance, cost, accesibility, ownership, battery storage and/or back-feed to grid options, requirements for space, meters, BREAM/sustainability, planning...

No probs. :) Panel type is not something I can comment on publically at this stage though, sorry!

There will indeed be a lot of solar panels going up! Here's a film that shows you the designs based on our models: Cambridge South station flythrough visualisation film This is from the NR general info page re the station...

We have tried to keep our impact down - thanks. Yep, the zigzag path will be unaffected. Note that the zigzag path will be a good connection back down to the parkland under the bridge - that will all be opened up again when we remove the site offices at the end. It will be one of the routes...

You've clearly been doing your research well! Spot on. Yes, the compound will not get any bigger than it already is in Hobsons park. Those trees are completely unaffected by our works. Helicopters are indeed quite frequent. They often stay on the ground whilst waiting for crews but sometimes do...

Another possession this weekend. We have another crane on site, this time on the East side. Interesting point - note the red light on top. This is because we're close to the airport and also the helicopter landing pad at Addenbrookes. We've also deleted a section of the Down Main in...

Awesome pics. Thanks neill. Despite working in the site office all of a few hundrend metres away from the building, most of the time all I see is the walls of my office, so it's actually great to see what's going on outside while I sit inside and talk about it!!

Indeed! :lol:

Roof - Yep, glulam timber. Sheet piles - this is for an excavation down to a gas main. We're not diverting this one, but instead are applying strengthening to the pipe by applying a metal casing to the outside of the pipe. I'll have some photos in a few weeks time. Thank you. :)

Wow! It was quite impressive and we were worried initially that we wouldn;t get much done at all but thinkfully the wind allowed us some time. Here's some impressive pics of the station and its progress over the last week. This is the West side building. 1712595333 Other works involved the...

We did have several periods where the crane was unable to work due to the wind, but we had monitoring ongoing and were starting and stopping as wind speeds allowed. We still got a fair amount done as per your last photo! It was indeed avery busy weekend. I'll ost more about what else happened...
