Aerial View, HS2 + EWR, Claydon, 16th September 2021
Aerial view of the point at which HS2 and East West Rail cross at Claydon, looking east north east towards Bletchley. The two lines cross in the bottom third of the picture, HS2 from left to right, more or less on the formation of the old GCR main line, though HS2 crosses under EWR whereas the GCR crossed over it. The area to the left of the picture is the site of the maintenance depot which will service both lines. The curve that comes from Calvert to the old Claydon Loop can be seen to the right of the picture, alongside the virtual quarries served by trainloads of aggregates. The road in the lower part of the picture will be replaced by a new one, the foundations for the new bridge can be seen alongside the old exisiting bridge. 11:41, Thursday 16th September 2021. Digital Image No. IGMP58183.
