A historic UK bridge has collapsed after an engineering train smashed into it, leading to reduced train services this weekend. The incident occurred when the train crashed into the Grade II-listed bridge at Lydney, in the Forest of Dean, just before 11 am on Thursday.
Shocking pictures of the bridge from the scene show that it has completely collapsed across the line. Authorities have cordoned off the area near the damaged bridge at St Mary’s Halt. Dean Forest Railway, which is responsible for managing the steam trains and heritage diesel services on the line, stated that no person was injured during the incident.
