Summary
| Description |
English: Gospel Oak: Southampton Road railway bridge and tunnel When the Midland Railway extended their line south to St Pancras in the 1860s, they had to tunnel under Hampstead Hill. On the left here are the fast down and up lines while on the right are the slow down and up lines for suburban commuter traffic. For the slow lines the Southampton Road bridge is the eastern portal of the tunnel. However for the fast lines the Southampton Road bridge is in fact about 100 metres east of the eastern portal of that tunnel, with the space between them filled with a series of strengthening struts. As a consequence the railway is partially exposed to the sky between the two, which accounts for the partial daylight seen beyond the bridge along the left hand pair of tracks. The two openings are of markedly different sizes, probably because one is a tunnel and the other a bridge.
This photograph was taken from 1716439 and in the opposite direction to 1716477. The bus is standing at the northbound bus stop in Southampton Road. |
