A footbridge over the Chiltern main line in Beaconsfield will undergo a major overhaul to make it safer and more reliable for passengers and the public. A £1.2million investment by Network Rail will see the footbridge at Beaconsfield Golf Club overhauled later this month. The high-maintenance old footbridge will be entirely replaced with what Network Rail say is a more reliable, modern structure. It will mean fewer railway closures in the future for repairs to take place, and a better way to cross the tracks for pedestrians. Lawrence James, scheme project manager for Network Rail, said: “Upgrading the public footbridge at Beaconsfield Golf Club will not only ensure that this public right of way is safely maintained for years to come, but will also provide continued reliable journeys for passengers using the Chiltern main line.
