Looks like it - I guess removal of the pilot beam (the temporary
front end) will await the normal working week.


Yes, I guess so. Brick Lane is now closed at that point to give them full
access to remove the temporary stuff and install a permannet span.

I didn't notice if the main line OHLE was removed during the slide,
presumably there should be ample time to get the railway
reopened for tomorrow morning (famous last words?)...


The OHLE was not removed. It's visible in my photos* M4 and M7 for
example (taken during the actual move).


Ah yes I see - having cleaned my monitor - I thought the latter were just
lines in the brickwork!

Very interesting set of pictures altogether - well done. Should answer most
questions about bridge slides (for now)...
