How high is Reading Viaduct?

[davidrockyroad]

Does anyone know the height of Reading Viaduct? That’s the one that flies over Reading Triangle Junction, opened in 2015. If’s for some coursework I’m doing at university… it’s not crucial I know, just wanted an estimate really. Actually, maximum/average gradient would be even more useful! Cheers in advance

Starting at a point approx 320m West of Reading station, the line climbs at 1 in 93 for 536m, then 1 in 730 for 548m, then descends at 1 in 85 for 611m; not including the transitions between different gradients.

Total rise in track level is approx 5.75m

As well as the gradients mentioned, there are also many detailed drawings for the viaduct construction on the Reading Council planning application website. I’d suggest it might be worthwhile looking them up if you want a quotable figure for your coursework.

The planning application reference is 111817
