  The bridge that crosses the line just to the north of Patchway station.
• 
  Looking towards Patchway station and the bridge is in complete silhouette. Just as I took this shot a pair of 50s shot past on the mainline.. I won't inflict you with my laughable photo of the occasion..
• 
  A general view across the bridge.
• 
  Looking over the edge and Patchway station basks in the low sunlight of a December morning.
• 
  Looking towards Gloucester Road.
• 
  Standing on the bridge and looking in the direction of Little Stoke. Of course, I only include this photo because of that signpost...
• 
  A last look at the bridge. Taken from a staircase that leads to a footpath to Gloucester Road.
