The unusual site banners are to bring attention to the fact that Labour activists in Bexley are manipulating Facebook Groups with fictional posters. They deny it, threaten police action for ‘harassing’ a fictitious character and then demonstrate their willingness to impersonate by creating a false Administrator account in my name. The banner on display is chosen randomly from a selection of three, with a fourth bearing the familiar Bexley Council is Bonkers logo.
26 September (Part 2) - A busy day in Abbey Wood
Unlike last weekend,
no one could say that Crossrail have not done a lot today.
East of the station the track renewal is being extended further towards Belvedere. It’s the same operation that was
seen on 5th and 6th September but in a less accessible place so no big photo feature this time.
The more dramatic change was half a mile to the west where the old Bostall Manorway footbridge was being removed
despite no alternative route being available for several more months.
It was quite a lengthy operation though not as time consuming as
erecting the new one. I am grateful to Network Rail’s Traffic Marshall for helping to pass
the time with a brief history of Africa and where not to go if visiting Jamaica. I now know about African
Granville Tailer Woods who invented many things including an overhead electric railway system.
The bridge removal from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. is pictured here.
