Re: Track renewal at Epsom Rd, Union Rd corner.

Trams are due to return to Union Rd on route 57 on Monday morning, so
there is a lot of action today to complete on time.

First pic shows a bevy of trucks, including 3 tower wagons setting the
overhead and finalising the roadway kerb.
The gleam of brand new trolley wire is visible.

Second pic looks north from the platform stop.
Berms have been installed to keep motor traffic off the central storage
track.  The points at the south end of the storage track are visible.
Road humps are being install in the roadway to calm traffic speed past
the tram stop.

Third pic shows the new platform stop.
The wide roadway at this part of Union Rd has enabled a wide platform
and wide walkway - which will be needed during big events at the
Showgrounds.
