Network Rail has announced a closure of Barnes railway bridge for a week in August 2025 to carry out essential repairs. This closure will allow for the replacement of the middle girders, which are crucial for supporting the weight of the trains and tracks above, as well as updating wheel timbers. The line between Barnes and Feltham will be replaced by bus services during this time. Additionally, improvements will be made to the pedestrian footbridge nearby, ensuring enhanced safety and reliability of rail services.
‘This is a crucial step in ensuring the safety and reliability of our rail services in the area. We appreciate passengers' understanding during this necessary work.’
‘The middle girders are essential for supporting the heavy loads of the trains and tracks, and their replacement is a significant part of keeping the infrastructure sound.’
