Heritage England have today picked out some of the most notable structures added to the national heritage list this year. Among them, listed Grade 2, is the footbridge dating from 1889 at Hindley, Greater Manchester, which was built to span 9 tracks (of which, from the picture they provided, only 2 appear to remain).
What other footbridges would be contenders for crossing the most tracks in a single span? I believe one would be the ‘Railway Children’s Bridge’, crossing the South Eastern main line between Grove Park and Hither Green, which crosses 7 tracks apparently all still in use. The bridge forms part of the Capital Ring walking route around London.
Any other suggestions?
