Summary edit

Description
English: Thatcham level crossing. A Reading to Bedwyn train departs from Thatcham station. In the foreground is the bridge over the Kennet and Avon canal. When the canal was being restored there was a lot of discussion about how to make this area work safely. There was previously a swing bridge here, but replacing like for like would have caused a problem with cars backing back and blocking the railway tracks when that bridge was being swung. In the event a bridge was designed that had just enough headroom for boats, but so that the road surface could fall quickly enough to the railway level crossing. A picture of the same bridge from the canal is here 333238
