[List of crossings of the River Soar] It has four listed crossings along its length, including Upperton Road, Mill Lane, Newarke, and West Bridge. The current West Bridge built in 1891, replaced [St Pancras railway station] Paul Day to evoke the romance of travel through the depiction of a couple locked in an amorous embrace. Controversy was caused by Day's 2008 addition of [Peterborough railway station] reversible freight line, these being numbered 6 and 7. Both the passenger footbridge and the former parcels bridge at the north end of the station were extended [Ely railway station] by a footbridge to the south of the station buildings. This footbridge was later replaced (sometime before 1902) by a substantial brick footbridge located [Beeston railway station] 2 but the plan was never put into action. The level crossing, lattice footbridge and signal box survived until 1969 when Beeston and Stapleford Urban District [Attleborough railway station] Midlands Railway upon the expiry of the former's franchise. There is no footbridge at this station. As of December 2019[update], from Monday to Saturday
