Maybe that's their planned name. Universal: Entertainment Resort Complex - coming to Bedford soon! UERC for short. UERCUK for long. Rolls off the tongue.

Theme Park worldwide has just dropped a 30 minute construction vlog. I'm only a few minutes in but there's definitely signs of things about to ramp up further.

Big thanks to @masekwm with today's update. The large compound on the western side of the Core Zone now has 3 diggers, 6 dumpers and a dozer. The area being scraped is also huge.

And in these images I work 200 yards right next door to the new rail station, so see progress every day. Ibalso lived the opposite side & my grandfather worked on that very land making bricks. I do hope I ain't too old to get on a ride by the time its finished. Bedford is a great place to visit too.

It's been a while since any updates were posted here. It's mostly been archaeological trenches. But today @masekwm has an update with a more permanent access point done and the beginnings of a haul road through the Core Zone.

I know it's niche but I'm genuinely interested in the results of the archaeological excavations. If anyone sees a report at any point let me know. I'll happily read and summarise it for everyone.

Here’s a summary of what is expected to be found from the initial trenches. The work now is likely to excavate some things for mitigation/preservation.
