Track at RSC
As all are aware the track at RSC is closed since Mid November 2012 to enable a new track to be laid. All the preparatory work was carried out fairly quickly and made ready . Several dates were then mentioned as to when the new track would be started but they never materialised. At last it appears a start was made on Sunday last by the contractors and hopefully the team will stay there until the job is completely finished and lined, one wonders what kind of date guarantees if any they gave when they got the contract as it seemed they were involved travelling to and from to other locations also.
