This blog entry is aimed at giving you an insight into our regular Wednesday working group.
On our last Wednesday working day I took several videos and have hopefully edited them so you can see what happens. Please do have a look using the link below. If the link doesn't work just copy and paste it into you browser.

TWO SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS...
Sunday the 5th June Open Day
Romsey Signal Box will celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee with a special display entitled
"Romsey, Railways and Royalty"
The implications for the signalman of the passage of a royal train will be explained, with a history of the connections of Romsey's railways with royalty.
This should prove to be a very interesting day.
THE FIRST UPDATE FOR A LONG TIME
It's time to tell you about some work that's been going on at the signal box site...
There has been quite a lot happening and the next few posts will not be in chronological order, merely as I think of them.
Several years ago I bought some cheap self adhesive vinyl floor tiles and laid them on a base of hardboard in the kitchen and toilet areas. Recently they have been looking very "tired" with gaps appearing and getting discoloured.
Just Floors of Romsey very kindly donated some commercial quality vinyl sheeting, with us just paying for the plywood base and the fitting. We removed all the old floor tiles and hardboard and took off the doors etc to give them good access, refitting them after the new flooring was laid.

| New Flooring In Kitchen |
The result has made a tremendous difference with the floors now looking very professional. It also has the bonus of being easily cleaned - particularly important in the cafe kitchen, where our motto is "Keep It Clean".

| New Flooring In Toilet |
We have already received compliments from our visitors about the lovely clean and well presented toilet.
Next update to follow soon.

We're Back!
May2022
Yes, we are back. The blog has been inactive for a long time, certainly right through Covid, and some time before that. Please accept our apologies but we are now trying to resurrect it and keep everyone up to date with what's going on at the signal box, which has been quite a lot.
Please come back regularly to see what's going on "at the coal face" as it were.
