Two bridges, each 12'6" above the road surface carry the railway over Old Oak Common Lane. The road is used by the 228 bus route (single deck) and vehicles running empty to and from the London United depot on Atlas Road. Clearly, with the risk of a double deck bus taking the same route from the depot, someone has thought in necessary to add 'Double deck buses prohibited' signs to both bridge parapets! The nearest bridge carries the tracks of the Great Western Railway's Greenford Loop Line and the distant bridge carries the Great Western London-Reading main line.
