There's fencing there but theres big gaps where you can walk through. Not for the faint hearted mind

I suppose keeping to the centre is okay, by your comment is the fencing a bit dodgy, it certainly looks that way.There's fencing there but theres big gaps where you can walk through. Not for the faint hearted mind

I mean the fencing at either end has gaps to enable you to walk across the viaduct. There's railings at either side but remember it's not meant to be a pedestrian thoroughfare so the railings arnt the highest. Keep any young uns next to you and dogs on a lead

They may have been the ones who rocked up and pretended to be Raul workers and nicked the tracks?

Possibly ...the track and signalling on the bridge all looked still to be in excellent shape .
Wasn’t that more than a decade ago?

You'll only fall off it if that's your intention. I can't see how you could accidentally fall off.

Mag!
I had a class walk the other day through cox green and then onto penshaw side and back again to Fatfield.
Victoria viaduct is a fascinating structure. I presume it’s taller than Durham? you can still see the tunnels they used to ship the stone from penshaw quarry (I think?).
Did a bit of research on it when I got back. Last train was 1991. Would like to see it used again. Shame its not.

You can walk over it. If you follow the lines on the Southside
A viaduct like that should be used. I take it a fair few have jumped?
I might try and walk it one day.

I've no idea mate.
I'll be honest and admit that until recently I had no idea trains had used it in the 90s, when the east coast mainline was being updated I think it was.
If you're soft as clarets like me it's canny to walk across it. Most people might not think so
Canny views up and down the Wear like
I had a walk along the wear the other day and passed under it, first time I’d seen it. An impressive structure.
