Yes it was in traffic all last summer. The tables were ready to fit during the winter. Fortunately only one had been fitted before the fire, so the rest are safe in store. They will probably end up in the Brake third open which will now go into traffic first. The flooring is going in at present. Then it will be fitted out. The frames for the seats survived the fire and again will probably go into the Brake 3rd. The Brake third is more useful in some ways as it has a brake! It will also be able to take wheel chairs.
Best wishes,

PS. Ferrybridge No.3 passed her annual boiler inspection on Wednesday, so will be in traffic Easter Weekend. I am rostered to fire on Easter Monday.
