Yes indeed. Me too. If memory serves me correctly, you live in the vicinity, brooklea. Precise location is approx 250yds south of the site of the former Evercreech New Station, where the line crossed Pecking Mill Road. About the only extant railway structure left in Evercreech.

Invariably, as the bus approached the bridge, everyone on the top deck would duck instinctively.
