Re: Richmond line

["Paul Jones" <dj_argon@geocities.com>]

Since i live at riverstone, i have been watching this for about 1.5 months
now. I assume you are talking about the new turnout near the old meatworks.
hopefully they will replace both turnouts at riverstone, as one is about to
fall apart, and the other seems fine to me. If you are talking about the
siding behind platform 2, well that's been there since the start of time. it
used to continue accross the road, and join on to the main, but about 9
years ago, the it was terminated to it's current position. and if it is not
that, well i haven't yet seen it.
