Tewkesbury And Malvern Railway
All photographs of this railway in date order.
![The unusual 'twin' road and rail bridge over the M50, which was demolished in March 2012 [see image 38067], seen from the Welsh side some two years earlier. So Malvern is to the left, Tewkesbury to the right, and this is the 'road side' of the bridge. But it was symmetrical, so you would see a similar view from the 'rail side' if you were driving towards Wales. Updated 2016: at least some of these spans were transported to Hosted Keynes to allow reinstatement of Sheriff Mill viaduct, which would allow re-connection of Ardingly to the Bluebell Railway. If this project succeeds, it will be the only instance I know of, where a steam railway has replaced a masonry viaduct with a steel bridge.<br><br>[Ken Strachan 31/05/2010]](/images/39000/39127.jpg "Ripple")
![Since 1959, there has been a most unusual bridge across the M50 motorway near Ripple, Worcestershire. Four identical channel sections cover both sides of the motorway, supporting at first a single-track road (L) and a single-track railway running between Tewkesbury and Malvern. Sadly, the bridge is currently being demolished. Following a 32-week closure, the road link between the throbbing metropoli of Puckrup and Ripple will be re-opened.

![One of the old railway bridges over the Avon at Tewkesbury survives, the other (out<br>
of shot to the right) has been replaced by a lattice structure carrying pipes. Passenger services finished in 1961 with complete closure three years later.<br>
