A new station on the D and S

As it is now - the two tracks on the right hand side all relate to another station Watchit….
As the main platform is not long enough for a 4 coach train plus loco, there will be some changes.
The wall that separates the platform from the track with the distant DMU comes down, that DMU track will be re-worked back into Marabost and the wall rebuilt to separate the right hand track that serves another station; main platform will be extended and a small bay for parcels, etc .
So over the next few weeks ( after I have installed a replacement control panel), I will have photos of demolition & rebuild.

I love this photo Sol :
Presumably, the idea is that the left hand "Watchet" track will become a platform track on Marabost thus giving a full length platform face rather than the existing 2 bays which effectively cut the length in half………….. :hmm
Knowing how you work, I'll look forward to seeing the finished altertions in about 20 minutes ………………………..

The current two tracks associated with Watchit are storage tracks aren’t they. Does the reduction in storage space mean a reduction in traffic to Watchit or a rearrangement of the timetable to suit the reduced space.
Nice to see the greenery and buildings too.
Looking forward to the updates.
All the best
