| 1. A saturday London Charing Cross to Ramsgate service - South Eastern Class 375 (three car version) - crosses the viaduct just outside Folkestone Central station. Top-left is the now defunct Folkestone Harbour station. The viaduct was undamaged by the 2007 earthquake although houses close by still show damage. 12 July, 2008. D h Thomas thomdh@hotmail.com |

The "Carter Bridge", a combined suspension and beam bridge, crosses the railway just north of Cambridge station. This merged view is less than perfect - the deck of the bridge is not in reality curved to the extent suggested here.

A zoom-in view of the MML throat (tracks hidden from view leaving only the 25KV overhead, unless a
train were to pass by). Although not seen, to the left of the pic is Camley Street bridge. The picture was taken on Sunday 29th August 2004 using a Kodak Easyshare DX6440, and anyone who wishes to use this photo must first seek permission from Edward Sloley via edward.sloley@ntlworld.com |

Here you have a bigger view of the MML throat from Camley Street. The catenary shown here was
commisioned in mid-August in order to facilitate the re-introduction of Thameslink services to London
St. Pancras. The bridge over Camley Street was re-opened a few weeks after this photos - about 4 months later than originally planned.

The identification of the bridge I was taking photos from. In road terms it carries is an unnamed access road from Hambrook Lane, to a couple of houses and a light industrial premesis. In railway terms it is identified as "SWB" (Possbily standing for "South Wales Branch", being on the South Wales Main Line, a branch of the Great Western Main Line) and as being 111 miles 32¼ chains from London Paddington.

The bridge that carries St Johns Road over the Severn Beach Line a short distance west of Clifton Down railway station in Bristol is located exactly four miles from Bristol Temple Meads. I don't know what the CNX code stands for, but it will identify the railway that runs beneath the bridge.

11 Dec 1999, Shankend, Scotland Shankend Viaduct located south of Hawick on the disused Waverley Route running from Carlisle to Edinburgh. There are plans to reopen the section north of Galashiels for commuter trains and a southern part to Riccarton Junction serving the Kielder Forest for timber transport. Plans for the middle section are less advanced, but this would provide additional transport capacity on rails in and out of Scotland.
