Billy Line Bridge Remains

The Billy Line was the rail service from the mainland to the south of Hayling Island and was a victim of the Beeching Cuts. These stumps are all that remains of the bridge.
Not a good situation for travel but a fabulous situation for a photo opportunity. It looks like it provides sailing challenges also.

Shame that it cannot be repurposed in a useful way? Cycle track maybe. Would make my life easier.

Maybe someday someone makes it into a cyclepath as Sue suggested.
Do I see the naval buildings representing a war ship on the hill left?

Hmm. I looked at this earlier and thought I saw a road/track-way, but realize it was the shoreline in the distance. It is a shame that they didn't take the stumps away, unless they serve a purpose of corralling the boats.

Like the reflections.

When I looked at this on my phone I also saw a roadway/bridge like Kathy, it wasn't until I looked on the computer that I saw the shoreline in the distance @randystreat

@kjarn tide was just turning, that shore goes under water
@joysabin that's what caught my eye
@randystreat I think they're too deeply embedded make for difficult navigation into the harbour!!
@jacqbb yup, well spotted
@wakelys mention it to next year's mayor?!
@grammyn oh it does!! Yachts may only pass between the taller stumps at certain times in the tide as it totally dries out

Cool to see the remains of the bridge. That boat in the front looks tipsy lol.

@dutchothotmailcom it's a bilge keel, so can settle into the mud at low tide
@joansmor it's lovely most weathers!
