Now that plans have been announced to replace this bridge with a new £15m combined rail, road, and cycle bridge, this could be the last time a loco-hauled train is seen crossing the old trestle bridge in daylight.Previous | NextIn full dull, 31285 propels 977868, 977869 with DBSO 9701 leading the 1Z12 08.28 Shrewsbury to Shrewsbury via Machynlleth Serco test train.
