![Dist:0.5km<br/>The Great Western and Great Central Joint Railway had built this skew bridge over West End Road by 1906 when the line opened. At that time the whole area was just open fields with no buildings and there were therefore no constraints on the new railway route which the railway engineers wanted to keep as straight as possible. The two routes, road and rail, therefore converge with one another at an angle that is no more than 30º. In fact there are two separate bridges, parallel to one another but only about a metre apart.
This is the southern side of the bridge. For a view of the northern side please see [[1864747]].
The Underground Central Line began services on the railway across the bridge in 1948.](http://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/86/47/1864782_d1be0850_120x120.jpg "TQ1085 : Ruislip Gardens: Skew railway bridge over the A4180 West End Road")
