Two railway bridges crossing Leigham Vale in South London. The space beneath the bridges is quite narrow, therefore the pavement is only on one side of the road here.

Railway bridges in Leigham Vale
The nearer bridge carries the line from Streatham Hill to Tulse Hill, this short spur being opened in 1868 when Tulse Hill station was opened. The further bridge carries the line from Streatham Hill to West Norwood which opened in 1856. Just to the left, but out of sight, is the line from Streatham to Tulse Hill which also dates from 1868.
Southern trains operate over the bridges while First Capital Connect trains to Luton and St Albans (and two in the evening peak to Bedford) and Southern trains can be seen on the line which runs alongside Leigham Vale.
