New underpasses in Bicester - Easter rail works

[@nigelt1218]

to see the whole bridge slide in like that, impressive planning and organization, plus hard work on the ground.

i realize it's quite off topic but do anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Rory Emilio thanks, I signed up and it seems like a nice service =) Appreciate it !!

[@roryemilio7835]

@Jaime Cody You are welcome :)

[@IamDilakshana]

Not just the bridge deck. Add the abutments and wing walls and then slide in. How efficient is this? Impressive!

[@RB.1595]

Amazing. Well done.

[@TheMJKnight]

Hard to think the type of equipment that they use there was predicted in Thunderbirds over 50 years ago. This type of technology is impressive

[@JonSalmon]

Wow, really impressive 👍

[@davethebrit5897]

British Engineering Superb

[@Andrewjg_89]

A new pedestrian underpass. About time. Keep up the good work Network Rail.

[@Poliss95]

Now do the same thing over the A1 so the line to Alnwick can be restored. :-)

[@georgedowns4034]

the north east in general I feel could do with more train connectivity especially places like Blyth

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

After closed by Doctor Bitching in the 60s.

[@pip-will-tell-nothing9247]

Never happen

[@Sarge084]

Shame they didn't use the method at Gypsy Patch Lane, Filton near Bristol, the road has been closed for over 18 months and it's still nowhere near completion.

[@gr3atdane]

480p. Lovely.

[@christopherbentley5216]

Very good. But ,a polite question. Why wasn't this done initially, when the Oxford- BIV- MYB was rebuilt/a few years ago? Surely, better than shutting the line.

[@zamnodorszk7898]

Cheaper to shut the line now that fewer people are using trains every day.

[@ianhudson2193]

Where abouts in Bicester is this???

[@pip-will-tell-nothing9247]

Like any other major project to do with rail they’ll think of closing it just after they built it

[@pdwyer1100]

So, with dirt magic, how do they ensure that the dirt they threw against the abutments doesn't subside over time?

[@Sarge084]

Roller compactor run over every 1 foot of soil added.

[@hendog3894]

To think the navvies did it brick by brick

[@AAAyyyGGG]

... and a few of then would have died due to accidents as well... 😑

[@MrPsychomonkey]

Yes got a few of these brick arch bridges and viaducts in the area, it is impressive what they did back then as is the progress shown in the video

[@boblovell5789]

O K impressive stuff. However feel overall , the amount of up to date infomation on this rail link is pretty miserly. Same goes for HS2.

[@danman4633]

Great work. But, when is NR going to do something about the vegetation infestation? The powerful roots of the Buddlia plant are ripping the brickwork of bridges viaducts and supporting walls too pieces. Delaying this work will result in massive costs in the future, also the risk of a fall on the running lines. The network is littered with disused lines and other scrap materials. Sell the scrap,use the money to sort the vegetation infestation. When the railways were real private companies every piece of unwanted material was sold to support the bottom line.

All that destruction of our countryside
