Thought I would start a dedicated page for this bridge. Please can you help me expand it with info etc. When I have time i'll add lots too it!

Another small point, surely broadly speaking the River Medway runs south to north - thus the rail bridge is the southern one, the londonbound M2 the middle one and the coastbound M2 the northern one. that how i see it anyway, i suppose on a map they are angled NW to SE ...... Anyway really should get my camera out and take some photos of the bridges and the views from them, its simply stunning Pickle 06:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
well, they pretty much run north south. anyway, go take some pics. i could take some on my phone, they wont be brilliant but at a medium size they should be fine. i get a good view of them from the woods near where i live. Pratj 20:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
I have added a bridge info box but there are some details I can't find - does anyone have them? Regan123 13:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Don't know if I dreamt this, but was their plans to build a huge viaduct across the Medway, when the Chatham Line was being built many years ago? I am sure I read this somewhere. The bridge would have gone into tunnel somewhere near Rochester. I think the cost prevented it ever being built. I could be wrong-- Screen42 21:20, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
A new bridge over the Medway is proposed here: http://www.trenport.co.uk + http://www.trenport.co.uk/images/master_plan.gif + http://www.trenport.co.uk/new_bridge.php

I Think we should change the title of this page to 'Medway Bridges' This is the name used on the Ordance Survey Maps for the area.-- Screen42 12:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me why? ClemRutter ( talk) 16:36, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
Cant see why my recent edit was undone. The article is about the bridges. The speed record is relevant as it occurred on the bridge. The Paris to London record section is irrelevant as it was completed over the entire line. Anyone want to discuss? Screen42 ( talk) 22:46, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

. This citation states, "Neil Meare, who took the train up to 200mph over the Medway viaduct"—this is the basis of the paragraph in the article, and the article does not state more than this. Thusly the result of the edit was to remove a reliable, cited statement, and instead to replace it with an uncited claim. This is counter to the general activity of Wikipedia, which is to reflect reliably published works. May I also draw your attention to
WP:3RR/
WP:BRD, and to
WP:MOSDATE (the allowed date formats for Wikipedia). Once again, thank you for getting involved and wanting to help with improving the articles on Wikipedia. —
