The article looks like old news ... However the cost is now £1.845m, forcing Cornwall Council to seek funding from the Department for Transport. Work on the bridge had been due to start at the beginning of 2023. or has 2024 not come to Cornwall yet? Railway Bridges HAVE been built before, but the experience will come in handy for places like Pilning. |

If they do change their mind, the 'old' footbridge is still at Totnes.
Rusting away in the old Dairy site.

Blimey, I go to Totnes a fair bit and never noticed it, unless they've dragged it out of sight of the station.... it's a big dairy site. I'm wondering why it's still there though. If it hadn't been earmarked for something else I would have imagined that it would have be sold for scrap by now.... makes me wonder if a heritage line has first dibs on it. |

Question raised at PMQs today by SE Cornwall MP▸ asking for the PMs help to push this through.
Reply was along the lines of "Network Rail looking for a funding solution in the next financial year"
zzzzzz

Does it include disabled access as well?

I doubt it. Level access will still be available over the level crossing. Possibly not on the permanent bridge that follows it too.

New access ramp to the down platform being built at the moment to bypass the narrow existing ramp beside the front of the signal box. Not seen any design for either the temporary or future bridge yet, as ever it is all about available funds. |

With thanks to all of our members here who have, over the years, provided so much varied information about Lostwithiel - may I explain? I was simply trying to find a reference to 'disabled access via ramp', just to compare it with our situation at Nailsea & Backwell, when I found that there were some ten or twelve other topics here, all relating to 'Lostwithiel'. I've therefore merged them all into this 'definitive' topic relating to Lostwithiel - purely for ease of future reference.  Actually, there's some fascinating stuff here, if you have a couple of minutes to browse back.  |

William Huskisson MP▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.
"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.

Good call on merging it all Chris, Thank you.
Lostwithiel still awaits it's fabled temporary bridge, and there is much riding on it politically locally.
The temporary structure puts 'Tanks on the Lawn' in the event of a government change as an ongoing rental expense that cannot be ignored by any future rail minister. If said temporary bridge doesn't materialise soon, then there will be a lot of 'loss of face' by our incumbent MP▸ , who has put significant effort into progressing the project, which will only be siezed on by her opposition who is typically all to keen to ride on the coat tails of others.
It is 10 years since I started asking for this bridge, and have learnt not to hold my breath !
