More photos from 12th November

 Photo taken from the Icknield Way bridge looking towards the field behind the hedgerow in the centre  where the viaduct will cross towards the main line.  The line of trees to the right is the solum of the former Bedford branch.
 Shot of the main line.  The viaduct will cross somewhere behind the fourth set of staunchions.  This will be a good vantage point as work progresses.
Field to the South of the Icknield Way with a row of blue markers denoting what will be the embankment that will follow the viaduct.  Running across the picture in the distance is the existing Cambridge line.
The same field but further to the right.  The orange markers are the edge of the works.  In the distance a digger and cabin can be seen.  This is the main work site compound under construction.
Back at the start, I took this photo from where I think the photo on my earlier post was taken.  Looking back towards Hitchin along the track bed of the Bedford branch just North of bridge three at E and S metals.  Rather overgrown but still walkable up to the parapet of the bridge.  Next photo shows the view across the gap where the bridge was.  There is no access to the other side as this is well and truly fenced off.
