20th January..... Road Sweeper.

Encountered this road sweeper today out on my travels, not what you expect to see creeping along a country lane, but then this is HS2 at work, so expect the unexpected. The road's nice & clean, who's gonna clean up the grass verge after it kept having to pull over to let traffic pass. On the following day a vehicle became stuck in the roadside mud as it tried to pass.

On a distant horizon they are busy knocking in fence posts.
