Wolverton Viaduct, Railway viaduct in Haversham-cum-Little Linford, England
The red brick viaduct spans 201 meters across the River Great Ouse with six elliptical arches, each measuring 18.3 meters in width.
Robert Stephenson designed this railway structure in 1837 for the London and Birmingham Railway, which later expanded to include additional tracks in 1882.
The Grade II listed structure represents the engineering capabilities of Victorian railway construction, featuring distinctive D-shaped cutwaters and semi-domed caps.
The viaduct continues to serve as an essential part of the West Coast Main Line, carrying trains between London and Birmingham through Buckinghamshire.
Steel catenaries added during the 1958 electrification project integrate with the original stone cornice and parapet design, maintaining the structure's functionality.
