26th March 2006 - David Lane Level Crossing Midland Railway Footbridge - RIP (1)
On Sunday 2nd April 2006, the old Midland Railway footbridge, at David Lane, level crossing, also known as Lincoln Street crossing, was removed. Above is a picture taken when NET was being built in August 2002. At that time and like many other times the bridge was incidental and not a subject of a photograph. Oh how the scene has changed over the years.

The view prior to removal with the mesh caged added as part of the NET scheme to prevent people from leaning over and touching the overhead wires.

The bridge was taken out of use in 2004 due to the unsafe nature of the timbers. This is a copy of the notice for the temporary prohibition in the use of the bridge.
