Network Rail have completed the works and passage is possible.

Original 1 December 2025, 4:06pm

Network Rail require a planned stoppage to enable repair works to the structure. Repairs include renewal of braking components and refitting of wheels which the structure operates on. The works will hopefully ensure more reliable operation of the structure going forward.

Please do not approach or try to moor up close to the structure whilst works are ongoing.
