Interesting story from earlier in the week in the Daily mail about some repairs made to an old railway bridge by the BRB that have upset the locals and the local authority. It does look a bit daft, and as the letters below suggest most of the original materials would have been on site anyway so the cost argument doesn't seem to add up. There would no doubt be a fuss if a Heritage railway had done this...........
