This weekend Andrews House east platform only will be in use.   To be done - fully screw down the second rail to gauge, align to the west platform edge, ballast, pack to height, etc.   Whole process to repeat for the east road, although this is a bigger job including replacing sleepers, rail, nearly all fittings, ballast, pack, align, etc.
