Although the deck of [[Victoria Bridge ]] is only wide enough for a single track, the abutments were built to double track width. [[Albert Edward Bridge ]] at Coalbrookdale was built to an almost identical design and carries a double track by means of girders cantilevered out from the four main arched ribs.
