Work on the guards compartment floor

Work has taken place on No.E43172's guards compartments floor today. This photo shows the floorboards around the double doors following the removal of the first one. Underneath can be seen the rather rotten metal flooring

The bitumen is brushed out the side of the carriage and collected in a tub underneath

Today's progress. With about half the bitumen removed this allowed Michael and Steve to separate the first of the metal panels underneath and fold it over
