Britains most bashed bridge!

Network Rail have named the bridge carrying the Leicester-Birmingham line over the A5 at Watling Street as having suffered the most bridge strikes (25) in the past year.

The Spa Valley Railway has also suffered a number of bridge strikes this year, particularly on the bridge over the A26 just outside Tunbridge Wells West station and also Broom Lane bridge between High Rocks & Groombridge, which had a horsebox wedged under it earlier in the year.

You would hope that drivers of large vehicles would know the height of their vehicles!
