Hemel Hempstead: The Nicky Line

This is a near same view, near same viewpoint, same photographer image of the Cherry Tree Lane bridge as Image] from 2007. As far as the photographer is aware, this section of the railway was only ever single track, so the purpose of the double arch in the bridge is unknown. Perhaps it was built with a planned expansion to double track in mind, but the doubling of the line never materialized. The spelling Nicky appears on a lot of old signage, but Nickey appears to now be the current vogue.
