Main and Relief - a photo on Flickriver

Main and Relief

            Over Britain, there is varied terminology on how to describe sets of lines that are designated for faster and slower traffic.

The Great Western Railway used the term 'main' for express traffic and relief for stopping services.

I managed to sneak this shot in a gap where Golborne Road bridges the railway, a little west of Westbourne Park. An Elizabeth Line Class 345 (345012) is on the distant tracks whilst a GWR Class 800 (800025) is glimpsed on the main line nearest the camera.
