The span of the pedestrian footbridge over the railway lines at Chiswick Station was lifted back into place on Sunday (8 February).

The footbridge has been out of action since the beginning of August last year and the span was taken away for repair off site after Network Rail found it needed more work than they had anticipated.

It should be back in use by the end of this month, the railway operator says.
