That's all the report says. I reckon that makes it Feeder Bridge/North Somerset Junction.

I crossed Langton Road Bridge on Thursday at about 16:00.

There was nothing going on on the St Annes side, but there were a few workmen on the line just past the signal gantry between East Depot and North Somerset Jnct.

It was reported on one of the usenet groups that there was quite a big buckle in the rails at North Somerset Junction. It was described as a 'good un' and even after being repaired there was a 20mph TSR in the area.

I daresay it was fixed properly over the weekend.
