Hand grading the soil/rubble beyond the Container (West of the existing Scruton station)
We hired a 1 tonne dump truck for the day to work with the railway's digger so that soil/rubble on the north side of the line (actually the old original platform), could be moved to the south side of the line. It was placed behind the already moved ISO contr, on top of the brick rubble previously placed there some weeks ago. (27/04/2016)
