Pedestrian bridge

...Stratford

...Bridges over railways often present something of an aesthetic challenge, as Network Rail and its predecessor organisations insist on parapets which are solid, and normally at least 1.8m high, especially at a site such as this where the railway below has overhead electrification. I know from my own experience as a designer that Network Rail can be fiendishly conservative, and persuading them to accept the use of glass is not always easy, although it is used on a number of other footbridges spanning rail tracks. At Stratford, the full height glazing is a great success.
