To do them justice - I don't think this is anything to do with the new
timetable is it? This or something very like it has been occurring
about 2 or 3 times a week for the last few months. Actually about the
most popular problem has been a bridge bash at Tulse Hill. I don't know
what bridge that is, but it must get bashed on a pretty regular basis.
I'm surprised it's still standing.

Presumably this one. 13'9" clearance on the South Circular Road.
You'd have to wonder how blind someone would have to be to hit that.

Some drivers are remarkably unaware of the size of their vehicle, judging by
the bashes that keep happening. Eventually the worst example bridges get
sacrificial beams so the idiots damage their vehicles and not the railway.
