Title: Why the ongoing 20mph speed restriction at St Budeaux,Plymouth Post by: woody on March 06, 2010, 19:45:48 The junction at St Budeaux where the Gunnislake branch joins the main line which was relayed around Chrismas I think still has a 20 mph speed restriction on it.Does anyone know why this speed restriction has not yet been lifted.
Title: Re: Why the ongoing 20mph speed restriction at St Budeaux,Plymouth Post by: richard bickford on March 08, 2010, 09:08:12 I suspect it is due to preparations for the overhaul of the Royal Albert Bridge later this year. There is quite an area that has been cleared between St Budeaux Ferry Road and the bridge itself, and I suspect this is where much of any equipment/materials that will be used will be stored.
I'll see if I can find out anything concrete.

It's water under the bridge then.Title: Re: Why the ongoing 20mph speed restriction at St Budeaux,Plymouth Post by: Andy on March 09, 2010, 22:57:19 or possibly a bridge over troubled water. :'(
Title: Re: Why the ongoing 20mph speed restriction at St Budeaux,Plymouth Post by: chrisoates on March 16, 2010, 00:32:23 Restriction lifted - having to brake now to get down to the 15mph for the bridge.

Surely that should be "I'll see if I can find out anything Wrought Iron".... ;) This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
