water they have taken on the appearance of marsh land. |

Moor End
Bridge
Work has started on raising the railway bridges in
readiness for extending the electrification of the Midland
Main Line from Bedford to Sheffield.
Local bridges will only need to be raised on the slow
lines because the fast lines have the required gauging
height. The photograph of
Moor End Lane railway bridge, Radwell was taken from Peck's Bridge,
looking north, by kind permission of JB. |
