RMweb Premium Claude_Dreyfus Posted January 30, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 30, 2015 Doesn't the 87 run from Barking to Romford any more? (I think it may be 82). Well, it looked like number 87 on the route blind, and when I had a look at a map of current bus routes along St John's Hill, the number 87 was listed; runs from Wandsworth Plain to Aldwych. Happy to be corrected if my eyesight is failing me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJS1977 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Hmm... I'm struggling to think of overbridges near me that are on bus routes! I suppose Tilehurst Road and Bath Road are probably the nearest but I'm not sure either really have a good vantage point to see both rail and road - Tilehurst Rd possibly from Reading West I suppose.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted January 31, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2015 The original 87 route had been merged with the 5 route, Canning Town to Barking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium melmerby Posted January 31, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) How about a trolleybus on bridge? http://goo.gl/maps/NwdjH You can just see a train in the platform below, plus another on a flyover. Keith EDIT With a bit of searching you might find a bus, trolleybus and tram on bridges in Zurich. Edited January 31, 2015 by melmerby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium ColinK Posted January 31, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 31, 2015 Yup, I was driving the bus on the bridge today. On the Settle to Skipton bus service just north of Hellifield when a Pacer went underneath. I also saw the southbound log train near Settle Junction, but missed the Winter Cumbrian Mountain Express as I didn't think my passengers would have appreciated waiting an hour for me to get a photo.

PatB Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I'm not sure why, but there seems to be an awful lot of fodder in this thread for the "real thing looking like a model" thread, even ignoring the wind up shots that are models. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butler Henderson Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 As a varient heres two buses under the bridge, admittedly with no train on it. The location is the GC London extension overbridge on Wilford Lane south of the River Trent crossing in Nottingham. The bridge was a long standing problem with an offical 13'6" headroom, although it was measured in 1970 as having a minimum headroom of 13'11" and was quickly demolished after the Loughborough Chord was brought into use. https://www.flickr.com/photos/8050359@N07/16169434878/in/photolist-qCQzDY-qBwwNR-qRFL9J-qTYE7B-pXcrin-pQTjXx-q5HLRY-oZKEcR-oyuiD6-ouqf3d-oab3Du-o6xi1m-n24czM-kqWhv6-is2Gsn-husX2E-hhh46s-gRfK37-gNXWiM-gFupoM-gsuLjU-gstJBN-fNHX18-qoQhNe-nU4Sx1-nzfm8Q-nMgqx1-mCXxDQ-k8Mvmp-k8LBPt-k8AkgB-k8zLtn-k8zV5x-k8BVDJ-k81xUc-k81YYZ-k81Ewi-k83c51-j4NA2N-iKSYKn-iKVF8q-hk3hxD-gzMf4Q-gsbKMu-giaZCw-g7iXXz-fNTM6C-fLUKMd-fL1Ds3-fGFotQ-fgg2tf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Dread Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I confess, I modelled the "bus on the bridge" and I would like one other offence taken into consideration.(There's another one on the other bridge). The crime took place on "Brockley Green SE4". I don't think some people take into consideration the expense of such an undertaking. The example in view, a Routemaster of course, was given free gratis but I don't just plonk any vehicle on the layout. This one was opened up and had some 20 passengers and a crew added at about a £1 each. The blinds were changed to include one that had "Brockley" on it and although Modelmaster came up trumps the only one I could find was 36B. A couple of years down the road and at an exhibition (no names, no pack drill) a very loud mouthed individual announced to all and sundry, "Ah, 36B service, that's Saturdays only!". My reply was easy, "And to-day is?". I resolved that if that question was to be asked on a Sunday, I would reply, "It's always Saturday on this layout". To keep in the mode of this line of enquiry, I would firstly direct your attention to the "badly drawn sunflower" in the bottom right hand corner. When the children notice it, the duty layout operator reaches underneath the layout where there is a handle. Pulling it down makes the "sunflower" raise up about 20 scale feet or so. Secondly, in the central first floor window of the printer's, on the left of the "RM" can be see a couple. I'll say no more on that subject. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
