Sonning Cutting on the Great Western mainline
Looking east from Warren Road bridge towards Buttshill Bridge. This stretch of railway was the scene of the worst railway accident of its time, when an early morning London to Bristol train hit a landslip on Christmas Eve 1841. Nine of the 38 passengers lost their lives, many of whom were stonemasons who had been working on the new Houses of Parliament and were returning home for Christmas. The inquest started the same day, at nearby Shepherd's House Inn and the findings prompted new safety legislation for railways.

This is a relatively new road that bypasses the residential Old Bath Road which runs parallel and just to the south. This is the view from the Sonning Lane crossroads. The speed limit is a fairly draconian 30 mph.
