I visited and took some pics of the old rail bridge near the site of Yaxley halt in Suffolk, which was part of the Mellis to Eye railway, closed to passangers in 1931 and freight in 1964. I believe this is the only evidence left that this line ever existed. The bridge still looked in a good...

I walked the Cwn Prysor viaduct last September when I was on holiday in Wales. Is a beautiful structure and great to see it still standing, although I always feel sad whenever I see disused railway arcitecture. I went the wrong way at first and walked for about a couple of miles up a steep hill...

Does anyone know which rail line used this bridge near where the Ffestinigog railway crosses the A487 near Minffordd? I can't seem to find any railways that used this bridge on any historical maps but the bridge looks like a disused rail bridge. The Ffestinigog railbridge is in the background...

Why do trains from Lowestoft stop at the far end of platform 1 at Ipswich station rather than drive up to the buffers? Does not stopping at the far end mean anyone with mobility issues has quite a fair further distance to walk?
