What's point something being grade listed if it's going to get demolished anyway. Probably would have been knackered in the 1830's building bridge up and now going. Great vid.
Great program ,informative but, one thing shouts out to me again and again regarding low historic bridges, why not lower the trackbed its has to be cheaper or is this an issue for network rails prestige project engineers ?
I'not an easy thing to do. The track would have to be lowered over a considerable lengtheither side to keep the gradient of the contact wire within limits. The process would be very disruptive and probably a lot more expensive. Also the drainage could be a major headache. Also with three similar bridges in the same stretch you would end up with a sort of switchback
One wonders how some of these serious changes were missed in thr first place. I thought the new undrstanding of overhead clearences would apply here with just some realignemet that is possible.

Passed too many times to remember didn't know it was oldest cast iron bridge

You often end up with flooding issues down the line. Lowering the track is generally long term a false economy. Generally that is not exclusively

Since when were they changes? The proposals for these projects were first published quite a while ago
Im sort of amazed but are they actually leaving space for future quad tracking in these designs.....?
They are with the bridge spans. Actually quad tracking this section would require a lot of earthworks.
