Trowse swingbridge has reopened following engineering work carried out by Network Rail over the weekend. Patrick Hallgate, Network Rail General Manager said: “We are delighted to have been able to reopen the bridge. Safety is our priority and last October we took a decision that made the track safe, but unfortunately caused disruption to river users. However, after working with the Broads Authority we allocated a date, have carried out the work and are now looking forward to working together in securing regular bridge opening times.” From 14 June 2004 the bridge will be opened at the following times: o Mon – Fri: 0920, 10.23, 15.29, 18.22 o Saturday: 09.42, 12.29, 14.37, 16.37 o Sunday: 09.35, 11.02, 13.25, 17.35 Please note: these times have altered slightly from the original times set in March due to recent timetable alterations.

About Network Rail

We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.

Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
