Wood End

East West Railway construction This bridge taking Horwood Road over the rebuilt Bletchley to Bicester railway line has been refurbished and the parapets extended in height to about 2m which seems to be the rule at the moment.  No more looking over railway bridges without a step ladder any more!  The trackbed beneath has had new drainage installed, been regraded and is now ready for new railway tracks.
