Radlett: Accommodation bridge under the railway

This small accommodation bridge allows the public footpath between Watling Street and Theobald Street to pass under the railway. Passing across the bridge is an unusual southbound freight train made up of grey tankers. Fast as they may be, scheduling these trains into the intense suburban train timetable along the Midland main line must be a challenge. A glance at the Ordnance Survey's 1:50,000 scale mapping in this grid square reveals a bit of cartographic licence, with this bridge and the nearby Image giving the impression of being one continuous structure about a hundred metres long!
