Railway bridges over Woodlands Way, Wandsworth

Woodlands Way leads from Upper Richmond Road to Fawe Park Road under these bridges. The bridges were built by the London and South Western Railway (L&SWR) which, starting on 1 July 1889, ran its own trains over the line via an eastward-facing loop that joins the Clapham Junction to Barnes mainline. The near bridge is currently used as a shunting line from Wandsworth Town Station (heading right) to East Putney Station, used by empty stock trains or occasional diversions by Southwest Trains when the line between Wimbledon and Clapham Junction needs to be avoided. The other bridge is disused.
