257 at Wittersham Road

On the last up train of the day from Bodiam.

I had a trainee in the signal box, his first learning turn in the box. Ordinarily, I would have had plenty of time to respond to yesterday’s blips and play the uke.

Not today as close supervision was required at all times. He did very, very well for his first turn and as a younger person is someone we really need as a volunteer.

Tomorrow is the big Plastic Free Tenterden launch. Unfortunately, the weather is not expected to be as benign as it was today. One forecast says thundery showers, the other heavy rain…
