In the film
The flying car is nearly hit by the Hogwarts Express on the viaduct. It appears again in later films, including a moonlit shot in Goblet of Fire.
History in brief
Built between 1897 and 1901, its 21 arches were among the first large structures built of mass concrete.
The place today
Still carries trains; the summer steam train draws crowds.
Always check opening times, access rules and travel advice before you go.
