Like many others, not surprised by 'bridge bash' as we called them. When I was at Crowborough the bridge was always getting hit & at one stage we were responsible for giving the bridge the all-clear. The agro really started when we had to get the name and details of the driver and vehicle, some of them got quite shirty, the fact they were the twits who hit the bridge in the first place slipping their memory! When the job for checking the bridge went to Three Bridges you can imagine the delay that would cause as no trains were permitted over the bridge until the 'Bridges' staff got there, then that meant organising replacement buses etc. On one occasion a wooden horse box was knocked off the back of a trailer & landed on the road with horses still inside! Happily horses ok. Steve.
