A footbridge at London's King's Cross station that featured in the Harry Potter films is to be reinstalled on a Hampshire steam railway. The 118-year-old Handyside Bridge will be moved to the Mid Hants Railway in December. The bridge will span lines at Ropley to allow visitors to view the steam locomotives from above. The heritage railway, known as the Watercress Line, runs from New Alresford to Alton. The Handyside Bridge, which was erected in Kings Cross in 1893, was removed in 2009 as part of the station's £500m redevelopment. Before it was removed, Network Rail said the only people still using it were Harry Potter fans and station staff.
