Having seen Jochta's photo, I thought this PB should have been an easy find. After all, it is painted and it sticks out. But could I find the dratted thing?

I knew there was a PB on the bridge so I had a look as I was walking to the Reading Festival from the station! It's on the N face on the bridge wall on the W side of the road just above pavement level. The wall is not vertical.
