All above now added to the article, apart from the middle one of the three left above; I'm not sure which bridge that relates to. Andy Mabbett 20:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
All the other coords I have are now added, including clarifying the above. -- Kvetner 23:02, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Export points of interest as KML; see them on Google Maps

Pages marked with {{coord}}, such as this one, can be exported as KML (for use in Google Earth, for example) via Brian Suda's site, in this format:

http://suda.co.uk/projects/microformats/geo/get-geo.php?type=kml&uri=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossings_of_the_River_Severn

The same URL can be pasted into Google Maps as a search, and will show the locations, as push-pins on a map

I'm chuffed! Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett

The template {{kml}} was created - and promptly nominated for deletion. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 22:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Severn Powerline Tunnel

You also need to add this tunnel - built in the late 60s/early 70s, fairly close to the Aust-Beachley line IIRC. Linuxlad (talk) 18:59, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
