Viewed from the Bridge Street bridge. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2644795 At the trackside in front of the signal gantry, a small yellow milepost shows 158¾ miles (to Paddington). This was the distance before the opening of the Severn Tunnel to passenger traffic in December 1886. The route via the tunnel is about 30 miles shorter.
