In 2010 a number of railway arches alongside Raymouth Road that had previously been used by a commercial vehicle repair business were vacated, and renovated by Network Rail's contractors before being put up for rental again. See also Image The foreman kindly allowed me far enough in to the site to take a couple of photos (I could not go further without the necessary permit, safety gear etc.) There is an interesting drainage detail here as a pipe emerges at the springing level of the arch, presumably carrying drainage from the track ballast, and discharges into a hopper. I don't know what the significance of the word "Tuesday" painted on the wall is!
