St Pancras International Station - bridge replacement day 4

[@StephenWalker42]

Thanks for the update. That's a big crawler crane, they've got there to do the lifting... such a tight site, right in the middle of London. Amazing...👍👍👍 Happy Christmas to you and yours....🎉🌲🎁...

What an epic job, large rebuild in a very tight area.

The digger swinging past that building makes me a bit nervous!!

.....and on a bridge carrying a road which usually sees two very busy bus routes run.....

All planned out , don't panic, all in a days work 👍🏻👍🏻​@@stevetony6876

[@darrenraymond5334]

[@stevetony6876]

You’re welcome. It’ll be interesting to see if all goes to plan! 👍

[@tiny2243]

​@stevetony6876 it did , not only to plan but ahead of schedule

Think they have clawed back the delay ….

Incredibly complicated rail network in that area! Im guessing that most of this is looking north, somewhere around Agar Grove Camden but railmaponline is not very clear about tunnels. Your Map would be handy, but thanks QM!

[@stevetony6876]

The tunnels in the main footage are indeed just north of Agar Grove. 👍

[@stevetony6876]

Hi Simon I too recently had a look at railmaponline in this area. I think I still need to revisit to work out all the connections!

lots of people still standing around doing nothing though!

Everyone has a role, sometimes many staff are required for short periods. Whatever way you look at this it's a complicated job in a very tight space. But social media is full of armchair experts.

When working on the weekend relay jobs, when they close the line. When it comes to removing or replacing ballast as an example, it is all machine work. But when it comes to replacing the sleepers and installing the new rail, we get busy, we welcome the periods when we can have a break, when working 12 hour shifts.

Only to the untrained eye , every man/woman played a major role trust me

​@@Polarbear1-b6jain't that the truth 👍🏻 if only they knew what it took to do this ,
