Buxton [Midland Railway]
Is there a collective noun for bridges? Lightwood Road in Buxton still retains three overbridges in daily use. 66767 has just left the Up Relief Sidings on the route to Peak Forest and the Hope Valley line whilst behind can be seen the access to the sidings from Hindlow on the LNWR Ashbourne line across which the train would have passed an hour earlier. The bridge at the rear carries the line which conveys passenger trains from Buxton to Manchester Piccadilly via Whaley Bridge. Not visible beyond that are the piers of a fourth bridge which once allowed access into the Down Sidings from the LNWR line. This bridge is now demolished and the site of the sidings is occupied by a housing scheme (visible in Image 78292)
