Further to the report in November 2011 issue another waste removal exercise, number 5 and the final one of the year, was carried out over the 4 week period between the 14 th November and the 8 th December 2011. This was extended from the planned 3 week period. The dramatic effect of the last two operations can now be seen from the photos taken on the 1 st December 2011, particularly from Imberhorne Lane Bridge.. The digger / tipper in the centre of the site, seen in both photos at last gives the perspective to the length and the curve of the cutting. The mountain of clay capping can be seen on the north side of the cutting. In the spring the cutting will be stabilised and an assessment made as to the amount of material still needed to removed prior to the landfill tax coming into force on 1 st April 2012. Drainage and trackwork will be laid to enable the mountain of clay capping to be taken down the line later in the year by train to be used elsewhere. Misc News: Another open access operator has proved to good to ignore and been bought out by Arriva. Unlike Wrexham & Shropshire however GCT is still a going concern and will retain its own identity…for now.
