DEVON’S Tarka Valley Railway has installed veloSTRAIL level crossing panels for the foot crossing at Torrington station.
The panels, installed onNovember 20, have sealed flangeways which provide an uninterrupted path over the crossing so that cycle tyres, dog paws and buggy wheels do not get stuck.
The same day, 16 tons of 50/20 limestone ballast was accepted in preparation for the laying of the next track panels scheduled for the new year.
