Tyne Vista - a photo on Flickriver

Tyne Vista

            A contrasting but vibrant skyline can be viewed across the River Tyne from the vantage point at the top of Newcastle's Castle Keep. New hotels and apartment blocks do not quite dominate the scene as in pride of place remains Robert Stephenson's High Level Bridge. Completed in 1849 for the then York, Newcastle & Berwick Railway, it became the first high level bridge to span the Tyne. Distinctive for having two decks, the lower being a roadway which has now been singled due to weight issues. The railway, too, was reduced to double track at the time of the East Coast electrification and nowadays, again because of weight issues, sees only DMU's on local services, plus the occasional Cross Country Voyager or Trans Pennine Class 185. Locomotives are permitted in cases of emergency only. On 17th October 2015 Northern Rail Class 156 No. 156490 approaches High Level Bridge Junction with 2N27 Nunthorpe - Hexham.
