eastwestdivide Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Inspired by this post, your real-life photos please, of a train going under a bridge with a bus going over. We'll soon put this modelling cliche to bed... 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanders Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 One snuck into frame Strangely, given that there are three bus stops up there on a very busy road with a bunch of different routes running along it, I can't actually find many pictures with a bus in it... Aha! 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Joseph_Pestell Posted December 24, 2014 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 24, 2014 I was going to suggest a photo of Eccleston Bridge, Victoria. There were always plenty of buses/coaches there but you can't see the trains as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poggy1165 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) The obvious location back in the day would have been Bolton (Trinity Street). There were a whole bunch of bus stops on the bridge over the station throat; in effect it was a bus terminus. And in earlier years, trams stood there too. What I can't recall is whether there was a place you could stand to take a photo that would have shown both the buses and the trains. Possibly from the footbridge over the Blackburn lines. It's a long time ago now, and the memory is misty... https://www.flickr.com/photos/boltonmuseums/3112342167/ Edited December 24, 2014 by Poggy1165 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

eastwestdivide Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Knew I had one somewhere. Railtour to Weardale in 2012, Rotherham Masbrough: Pretty unlikely-looking train as well - run that on your layout and see what reactions you get. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozexpatriate Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) We'll soon put this modelling cliche to bed...I love the idea of a thread devoted to pictures of buses on bridges, and the photos are great, but I don't understand your comment. The cliché is a cliché not because buses use bridges to cross railways - they most certainly do. The cliché (which doesn't bother me in the least) is the law that every layout has have one.
