Continuing with the Bridges Week, I don’t have a good enough picture of it, but trains leaving Newcastle Central Station go over the bridges. “Trains may cross the River Tyne on one of two bridges, the oldest is the High Level Bridge designed by Robert Stephenson and opened on 27 September 1849, which is to the south-east of the station. Its location meant that north-south trains had to reverse in the station to continue their journey. The King Edward VII Bridge opened 10 July 1906 and is located to the south-west of the station - this allowed north-south trains to continue without reversing. The trackwork north and south of the river forms a complete circle with these two bridges, allowing trains to be turned around if necessary.” - From Wikipedia

If there are is anyone who would like to take over in the posting of photos after my departure on 18 September, please let me know.
