Tedford Platform 0

A project over Christmas was to add a new bay platform at Tedford. The end of the car park was cleared and the back edge of that end of platform 1 was given new edging to form platform 0. It was just possible to open out a new bridge archway and lay a length of track that joins into the up main line via a curved point at the start of the fiddle yard. Access to the new bay platform will be by running the wrong way through one of the up main fiddle yard roads. Signalling has been added that interlocks with the route settings and a Right Away button on the control panel. Initially a Dapol semaphore was fitted but this was recovered from elsewhere and was unreliable so has been replaced with a two aspect colour light signal. The area in front of the bay platform will eventually become allotments.
