Gerrards Cross - track relayed at tunnel collapse site   
The Down line has been relayed in the gap at the site of the tunnel
collapse and sleepers are in for the Up line.  Contractor's rail
vehicles in both parts of the tunnel.  Someone seems to have been
persuaded that it is safe for railway work.
Will keep the ng informed if anyone is interested.

  The current situation at Gerrards Cross got a mention on the steam 
radio at lunch time.
  It appears someone has signed off the current tunnel as 'safe' and 
trains will be running in the near future. Though doubters among the 
locals
remain.
  Also mentioned the small matter of compensation to varying parties 
Tesco, Chiltern, Network Rail and varying small businesses and who 
(construction wise) would be responsible via insurance- that matter 
wasn't addressed directly -probably due to potential law suites if the 
finger of blame lay somewhere else in the chain.

We are interested! Your pictures have been more valuable than any formal
information.
