The distant picture of Laira bridge taken from our homeward bound train on Saturday 5th July 2014 sparked a deal of interest.
We now hope to bring you pictures of work on this bridge right up to completion when once again traffic can flow across the river Plym at this point albeit bicycles and hikers rather than trains to Turnchapel and Yealmpton. Many thanks to Trevor Tremethick who brings us pre start and the first of work in progress pictures.

Another view of this quite grand structure, this time including a 'snip' of the adjacent road bridge. For more views of the early days of the road bridge look at our Turnchapel/Yealmpton branch section. This picture by Trevor Tremethick on the 10th April 2011 Copyright
