1,000 tonne bridge deck moved into place over Caversham Road as Network Rail completes first phase of six-year project to improve Reading's railway. For more information on the Reading project, visit www.networkrail...

That's amazing! I'll never look at the bridge the same way again.

[@MayureshKadu]

Really awesome! The good stuff starts from 01:21. Well done in capturing this stuff! Kudos!

[@sewartwebb]

Simple but stunning peice of engineering!

[@66mjtaylor]

Amazing feat of engineering and great video

[@PieOPah]

shows you what the Bristish can achieve in such a short period of time - well done!

[@matt1784]

this is brilliant, really interesting to see how it happened

[@asaccin]

Fantastic video, thanks for capturing it. Anyone got any more Reading station improvement vids?

[@enIslander]

That's amazing - brilliant video, thanks!

[@roscalen]

Amazing! Well done!

[@whatisapixel]

Really impressive.

[@Dysanovic]

Good work!

[@digitalnoisephoto]

I couldn't care less whether it improves the line, in face I preferred the old bridge. Awesome timelapse though!

[@benson1999]

I have been out of Caversham in Reading for yearts, but I noticed the fire station. When did they actually do this? Must of caused chaos over Reading bridge! Nice upload.

Consider remaking with artificial tilt shift

[@Makeup-pixi3]

wow, what a feat of engineering :)

[@MekeniJess]

Hey, I am just wondering what the name of the machine/vehicle that takes away the smaller railway bridges (20-23 seconds into the video) is called? I have never seen it before, but it seems to do the job faster than a crane. Anyone help me with the name please? Thank you

@digireedoo and @theroyalshow While I take your point that the changes should in theory make a difference, there is a massive new station at Stratford that will probably remain unused after the Olympics we are told. New platforms and lines achieve nothing if they do not get used. Try telling me that the management of our wonderful privatised railways could organise the proverbial drinking session in a brewery. Experience shows us that the outcome of these improvements is less than the publicity

[@normcfu]

Pretty neat stuff. I'm glad I don't live in that house right next to the tracks.

[@JIMBO5444]

Great movie Im trying my hand at it..

@mrcool76789
You think he captured a couple of days of video and sped it up ? Do you reckon he used a supercomputer to edit the videos together ? Seriously...
He took pictures, yes.

[@finn243]

Big up caversham!!!

[@mrcool76789]

A bunch of pictures or a video sped up? Please respond.

[@renaultlover1]

So this is why the road was closed on new year's eve!

[@Rapidsnap1984]

Towards the end it looks like ants over a jam sandwich at a picnic.

@thomasemery i thing there taking out the last 2 at easter
my great grandad help but in the bridges

[@theroyalshow]

@crispinhj You're completely wrong, i'll just leave it at that.

[@crispinhj]

really interesting but there's a bit of me that thinks that it'll make no difference at all to the average journey. Most so called "improvement" work takes weeks/months/years and makes no discernible improvement to journeys. The Circle line is a classic example - years of work and a worse and less convenient service at the end of it.

Choking. On. The. Dryness.
