Photograph showing the size of the 'sapling' Andy Chapman of the Infrastructure agreed to fell. (Andy Waite's suggested cutting it down would allow daylight to penetrate to the trackbed at this cutting . It took all 5 and a lot of effort to fell. Having promptly cut it down Andy Chapman then proceeded to cut it up - taking nearly 2 hours to clear away the line. Fortunately a yellow service was being run and the last train of the day had passed. (18/03/2017)
