The replica station name board (also on the original posts) and
two-lever groundframe situated on the Down platform. Further along this

| The track-laying gang, 22nd August 2002. The upper line leads
to the car park where it will form a transhipment siding. Continuing in the
direction of the lower line is the main trackbed towards Parracombe. Despite
Parracombe being a reasonable sized village, it only warranted a Halt!

The sleepers leading towards the foreground are in the dock
road. This line will, initially, form a headshunt for vehicles coming down from
the transhipment siding.

| Track-laying continues. Charlie the four legged foreman can
just be seen checking the integrity of the 1' 11½" gap between
the 50lb, flat-bottom rails.

right of the white van above.
