Another well maintained Network Rail structure that requires no maintenance and fewer inspections….. perhaps!

There's a cab video of the route from 2019, taken in the 'Down' direction. The approach to the bridge can be found from 55 minutes in to the video. At 55' 22", as the train passes beneath the bridge, there's a glimpse of a 'Not quite benign looking' wing wall, that looks to have had issues with water seeping through. Then, this winter, the area's seen some very low night time temperatures. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMADOeBumAUMark |

Good cab video that. I wonder who could have produced it?  P.S. It was 2020. |

Oops, yes, 2020: sparse passenger numbers, people masked up.
So many cab videos seem to chance on weather that's not the best, but not this one. West of the Severn particularly, it's a lovely record of the line, the season, and the country. Always love to see that sight-line through Ledbury's station's footbridge.

Interesting - the AA travel site attributed this to a vehicle striking the bridge. Which is correct (or which caused the other if both?)

Yes but economists and Minsters in the Treasury know far more about these things than Network Rail engineers so if they say it is safe to reduce inspections it must be. |
