As part of their ongoing programme to electrify key rail routes across the Central Region Network Rail inform us that a new section of the railway between Birmingham and Gloucester will shortly be electrified.
As of 27 December 2017 the overhead power lines suspended above the track from Barnt Green Junction to Bromsgrove Station will be energised. This will have no effect on rail users or nearby properties going about their legitimate business.
We are all advised to take extra care when in the vicinity of the energised equipment. The overhead line will be energised at 25,000 volts, alternating current at 50Hz frequency. It is extremely dangerous for any person to be in close proximity (9ft) of the equipment, including switch feeds and cables.
There is of course no danger to any persons provided they do not enter onto railway land (and are always more than nine feet from the overhead lines if their property is adjacent to the railway). This includes any tools, plant or materials that may be handled; and encroachment onto Network Rail land or air space could place them in serious danger.
We are also advised of the problems that could arise from the use of cranes, ladders, scaffolding, hose-pipes and the emission into the atmosphere of flammable gases and vapours.
For further information contact CRNW@networkrail.co.uk. You can also contact their National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.
Take the opportunity to walk off the Christmas indulgences and join us for the first Barnt Green Wassailing Walk on Wednesday 27th December.
There is a choice of two distances but both will meet up at the same time and place – a local orchard – where we will make lots of noise and hang toast on the trees to encourage next year’s apple crop.
Meet in Millennium Park at 2.30pm for a 4.5 miles walk, or at 3pm for 3.3 miles walk.
Bring pots and pans, wear boots and warm clothes, and carry a torch in case it is dark on the route back. There will be the opportunity to sample mulled apple juice and cider. Dogs on leads welcome.
Come and join in the fun in Barnt Green village on Saturday 2nd December ready for the main lights switch-on at 5pm.
Blackwell Concert Band will be playing during the afternoon, the shops will be offering Christmas treats, drinks will be available from the park, there might be an elf or two wandering about and a local choir will be singing in the park!
The special children’s lights near to the school will be turned on at 4.30pm, just before the main lights switch on from Millennium Park at 5pm.
