Clifton Rocks Railway Restoration

October 2011

Weekly progress diary from beginning of March 2005 The BBC came down to do a quick article on the news to celebrate the 70th anniversary of transmitting from the tunnel. Jules Hyam was the reporter, and it was all done live at the last minute so I had to run from work on receiving the call. It also entailed me running up and down the stairs 3 times in the space of 2 hours to do various tasks. It all came out very well and a bit of light relief from all the heavy news we have had recently!
