Strathbungo
A new footbridge was installed at Strathbungo, in Glasgow's southside, during the weekend of June 10 and 11 2023. Network Rail, along with contractor Bam Nuttall, put the new footbridge in place as part of the Glasgow to Barrhead electrification project, a Scottish Government investment to decarbonise Scotland's railway passenger services. The single-span bridge was successfully lifted into place over the railway, between Moray Place and Darnley Road, using a 500-tonne crane. It replaces the former 146-year-old bridge which did not meet the required height clearance for an electrified railway. That was rehomed earlier this year with Caledonian Railway, a volunteer-run charity that operates a heritage railway in Angus. The charity intends to use the old footbridge at its unique Brechin station as part of the restoration and improvement work taking place there.
