I can't believe twelve replies and no one has answered the question
properly.

Well assuming the question is a railway one then Ranelagh Bridge used
to be a stabling point for locos off Paddington station.

It was located directly opposite Royal Oak tube station. It was closed
after the HSTs arrived on the GW and all the hydralics and class 50s
had moved on.

It was well known and loved by all the spotters of my generation.

Thats because yours is the only reply that appears to have missed the fact
that the OP was interested in the actual 'bridge'...

If you read the original post the question is *where* is Ranelagh
Bridge, not *what* is Ranelagh Bridge.

The replies before yours seem to have answered the original posters
question pretty fully.

Do try to keep up old chap.

If you ask a question like that in uk railway then I think you more
than deserve my reply.

If you ask a question like that in uk.r then I would suggest that most of us
of a certain age would *automatically* assume that the OP was referring to
the Western Region servicing point just adjacent to Royal Oak station, that
was decommissioned once the majority of WR services went over to HST
operation.

Yes, the additional background info was interesting, but the criticism
of previous posters who actually answered the question posed by the OP
was certainly not deserved.
