Reading Biscuit bridge replaced

NETWORK Rail replaced a historic railway bridge in Reading on March 20, allowing the removal of a speed restriction on the

South Western Railway route into the city. The Huntley & Palmers bridge runs across a railway tunnel once used by the famous biscuit maker’s internal trains to transport van loads of products out of the factory. Although the factory closed more than 40 years ago, the tunnel is open today to pedestrians and cyclists.
