Network Rail action

No trolleys down East Street yesterday morning and somebody had cleared out the Ashmore passage, so I though to take a look up Station Approach. Nothing there either, but I did come across the famous Epsom landslip, previously only glimpsed from Platform 4. Plenty of machinery and some workers, by the sound of them from Poland.

We think we have been hearing the thumping of steel sheet piles being driven, so perhaps that is what the machine centre back does.

Network Rail is clearly spending a lot of money on this one. With the bonus of a bit of real excitement for all the residents of the McCarthy & Stone complex left. The one with the carriage entrance which won't take an ambulance, opposite my dentist and occasional walnut store. See reference 1.

Perhaps the carriage entrance was actually designed with Network Rail in mind, rather than the National Health Service.

PS: there are interesting MoirĂ© effects on the roofs of said McCarthy & Stone on the original of this snap on my laptop. Effects which seem to have been largely erased by passage through the Google cloud.
