What time was this? I got there around 3, hung around for about an
hour with nothing going on (took the opportunity to check out the Ian
Allen shop though :-), then went off to do a bit of shopping and got
back a bit after 5 to see a few bits of yellow-painted framework being
lifted out of the hole and onto the back of some regular flatbed HGVs.


The first car was lifted and lowered in about 11.30 with the next one
following about fifteen to twenty minutes later. As there were only four (I
left after the second one was in) I would guess it was all over by one
o'clock.

As there are 16 scheduled to go in next Saturday/Sunday I would hazard a
guess that there will be much more to see!
