text: It was laid with wooden sleepers which had been steeped in tar to preserve them and the tubular bridge was  coated in soot from passing locomotives. Reputedly there was also a lot of litter and other flammable debris in there Velela (talk) 09:18, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

message: How is it possible to justify writing that the High Level Bridge is a second and more elegant version of the Britannia Bridge? A tied arch doesn't have anything in common with a tubular bridge.
Similarly, the lenticular truss design of the Royal Albert Bridge has virtually nothing in common with a tubular bridge. The construction method of building the spans on land and floating them into position is about all that can be attributed to the Britannia Bridge.Meters (talk) 08:23, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

message: Internetarchives has a (low-resolution) photo from before 1914 of a London and Northwestern Railway express train emerging from Britannia Tubular Bridge, size is roughly 1900px × 800px.  The picture should be public domain as it was published before 1924 and the author of the picture is not known (not stated).  Source: Ernest Protheroe, The Railways of the World, London: George Routledge & Sons, Ltd.. 1914 (published simltaneously in USA by E. P. Dutton & Co., New York), page 267. So if anybody feels like loading that up to Commons, here are book url, page viewer url, picture url (picture needs to be cropped). There is also some detail on the construction of the bridge to be found on pages 267–268. --Alias Sobriquet (talk) 18:34, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

message: https://historypoints.org/index.php?page=britannia-bridge-builders-memorial-llanfairpwll lists 19 men who died on the site during construction. Others died of disease linked to the poor conditions in the work camp. Worth mentioning perhaps? Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 22:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
