Cut Mark At Base Of Bullough Lane Arch Railroad Bridge - Rothwell, UK - U.K. and Ireland Trigpoints on Waymarking.com

The two routes that use the bridge are the Hallam Line and the Pontefract Line.

"The Hallam Line is a railway connecting Leeds and Sheffield via Castleford in the West Yorkshire Metro area of northern England. It is a slower route from Leeds to Sheffield than the Wakefield line. Services on this line are operated by Northern. Services from Leeds to Nottingham also use the line." link

"The Pontefract line is one of the rail services in the West Yorkshire Metro area of northern England. The service is operated by Northern, and links Wakefield and Leeds with Goole via Pontefract. The Metro timetable for the line also includes services operated as the Dearne Valley line between York and Sheffield via Pontefract.

The line, which passes through the former mining areas to the east of Wakefield and Castleford, has the greatest number of stations opened by the West Yorkshire Metro. MetroCards are available on the route as far as Knottingley: a limited service of trains continues to Goole by this route." link

At this point the both routes share the same line. The bridge is between Woodlesford and Leeds Stations on the lines.

The minor road under the railway bridge used to lead from the Aire and Calder navigation into a coal mine, but the coal mine has now been converted into Rothwell Country Park, and apart from maintenance vehicles is now only used by cyclists and pedestrians moving between the canal and the country park.

The cut mark is at the side of the bridge closes to the country park. The following details were obtained from the OS website and typing the following coordinates 53,47,42.87,W,1,32,24.54.
