1. Occasional Tuesday marks a particularly interesting day as in this picture when Thomas was delivered to the scene of our own operations for the day - Wittersham Rd. What better backdrop for a group picture?

2. This picture is a reminder of the poor weather that has dogged winter Tuesdays - so many tasks have taken much longer than expected e.g. the renovation of Wittersham Rd. Here we attempt to continue work on crossing gates and hut.

3. Ron continues to fight decay whatever the weather. Rotten boards are being removed and new ones fitted to the waiting room building adjacent to Wittersham box.

4. Weatherproof coats are much in evidence as we attempt to fit the new shutters and prime all prepared areas of weather boarding. NOT ideal weather!

5. Round the other side of the building Ron refits sound timber round the doorframes whilst Matt gets on with paint preparations.

6. With a good drying day in prospect, all hands grab a paintbrush and paint pot. Railway cream gloss coat is being applied over copious other undercoats.

7. Humph and Graham complete the gloss cream coat round the back before grey undercoating areas that require a red gloss finish.

8.Banishing rot with the spirit level! Ron checks the newly coated roof will truly drain away well with the new gutters and down pipes in the correct places.

9. The front of the Waiting Room at Wittersham Rd beginning to look really good once again as the shutters are top-coated red.

10 The final task is to add the KESR location board already fitted at other KESR stations.

11. Although we have operated from Wittersham for most of the last 2 quarters, other places have not been completely forgotten. A wind-damaged doorframe at Northiam Station is inspected before receiving attention from a TG team.

12. Back at Wittersham Rd the newly delivered signal box steps receive a protective primer coat whilst they stored prior to installation by building contractors.

13. Graffiti on the new S&T hut at Northiam is repainted over in railway green.

14. High winds at Wittersham Rd brought down trees damaging the platform fencing. Ian with others sees to repairs

15. Dave and Graham to erect a new level-crossing warning sign at Tenterden having previously painted the post.

16. Demolition is also on the programme. The old and rotten crossing keeper's hut at Cranbrook Rd. is demolish and removed from the site.

17. The Wittersham Rd site "clean-up' included removing the old (and unusable) toilet.

18. Next the lamp oil store is cleaned up and repainted a comely black!

19. Norm applies a good coat of black to the roof.

20. Now the platform has been tidied up and overgrown plants and bush clipped back, it's time to give the white edge line a freshen up on a non-operational Tuesday.

21. One of the tasks on-going for many, many months has been the repair and re-painting of the Northiam platform seating. Here the various slat are getting an airing after undercoating.

22. Norm re-constructs the first seat from a kit of re-furbished parts.

23.Dave likes to get down to a task - in this case almost shoulder- deep as the gatepost at Wittersham Rd level crossing is excavated for repositioning to effect a better fit during hot weather.

24. Amazing! Robin checks tolerances as the open gate is closed for the first time. The post needed to be moved 3 quarters of an inch I'm told!
