I was given the above today as payment for buying , fitting and sorting out a pair of brake /gear levers on my friend's bike . His wife said that he had to get rid of a bike so I obliged in taking it away.
I gave it a good clean sorted a few things out and then went for a 5 mile test ride. It has wide bars and wide tyres which make it feel a bit like a motorbike on rough surfaces. The twist grip gear change also adds to the feeling . It needs a few more bits sorting out but this evening's ride was fine .

The bike is a Raleigh Altare .
 
Does Thingley have an underbridge as well?
They knocked down the old bridge and built a new monstrosity just so that people can be electrified in their trains. It looks as though only one track is electrified as the bridge has a step in it . One side of the bridge has a cut out to allow for the electric trains and has a raised section of wall above it .
This means that the trains will only be able to use the power on one track .
It took them a long time to demolish the old bridge and build the new one .

So it's an afterbridge and apparently not a lasterbridge. I'd wait for an AroundThingleyBridge.
