Oxford Station at Osney BridgeThis former LMS / LNWR Swing Bridge is one of only two scheduled Swing Bridges in England and is the last significant hand –operated main-line rail Swing Bridge in existence in Britain. It connected the LNWR passenger and goods station to the south with the LNWR locomotive depot and lines to Bicester and Bletchley to the north. It was abandoned in the 1940s.
The Swing Bridge is owned by Network Rail and is now in a very poor state of repair as is highlighted by its inclusion in the English Heritage ‘Heritage At Risk’ Register 2011. Today Oxford Preservation Trust is working with key partners including Network Rail, Chiltern Railways, the Railway Heritage Trust, English Heritage and the City Council to try to ensure the protection of this monument and improve its interpretation.
