Bridge Strikes
 

Hi All - first post here.

Does anyone have any recent tables on the number of bridge strikes with locations, types of vehicles, bridge type etc. Or a good suggestions on how to get them.

Many Thanks

Hi shrudeshrek welcome to the forum sorry I can't help with bridge strikes.

To start you off, a Double-Decker hit a low bridge near Bury St. Edmunds this afternoon and the Police are puzzled as to WHY the driver took the vehicle down a Narrow Road with a low bridge? They aren't alone, but following an Inspection by Engineers, normal speed has now been resumed.

Hi Shrudeshrek, welcome to the forum, Local paper archives should be a good bet, but you would have to know the locations of the strikes of course. Darwen Street bridge in Blackburn is always being hit by high vehicles, try the Lancashire Evening Telegraph archives.
Regards Mike.

Hi, thanks for the input so far, however, I am after more data specific information, i.e. ELR bridge number, type of bridge etc. Mainly looking for the WCML.

Cheers

Hello and welcome Shrudeshrek, I'm afraid I can't help with your question.

Hello and welcome to the Forum, enjoy.

Hello Shrudeshrek and welcome to the forum. Sorry I an not able to help with your question, but I hope you enjoy the site and post any information you get on the bridge strikes.

Welcome shrudeshrek. Quite a technical query and probably only one that Network Rail could answer I would have thought. Even then, it would probably be on a region by region basis.

I wonder if they ever had to report the statistics to the Health and Safety Executive, or to a Parliamentary Enquiry?

Hi Shrudeshreck,
