![The footbridge at Hassendenean station seen on the 6th of October 2016. I have completely restored/repaired the footbridge now. Just a couple of main newel post finials and intermediate newels to have their caps replaced. And the 'Cross the line by the bridge' signs to add. Otherwise it’s looking great and have had plenty of compliments.<br><br>[Tom Pyemont 06/10/2016]](/images/58000/58835.jpg "Hassendean")
