Do you know if they're Network Rail people or JR Smart's contractors?

I can't tell for sure, but the whole plot is being dug up as if they are getting ready for that April start.
I pass the site most days so I'll keep an eye out. There's just a couple of diggers going about their work clearing earth and concrete. There's no particular colour hi viz being worn and certainly no logos on vans etc. It's as if a kocal contractor had been hired to do site prep or clearance.

Just had an update off one of the guys working there. They are onsite creating a piling mat for the next couple of weeks.
The piling should be starting at the end of March for the tower.
