A large wire figure of a man in a bobble hat sitting on top of the bridge, with a fishing rod hanging out over the River Ouse, on the end of his line he has caught the 'Flying Scotsman' train which used to run on the railway line that used this bridge – now decommissioned. It is part of the Sustrans route 65 cycle way.
