Britannia Bridge is the only railway bridge in We Happy Few that connects Wellington Wells to the mainland, Great Britain. Trades from across the bridge have ceased, since no one wants anything that Wellington Wells can offer. The train station is guarded by constables, making sure no one skips town.

It was caved off after Arthur Hastings turned on the mining drill, causing a mining collapse. Closing off any escape from Wellington Wells. Warning signs are posted, stating that any "Skippers" caught shall have their belongings seized (if they had any) and be brought to Haworth Labs, as Anton Verloc gets immediate custody of them.

Act I[]

Arthur Hastings narrowly escapes the mine shaft as it collapses to the Britannia Bridge. There he comes to realisation that he's been using Percy as an excuse, because he wasn't strong willed enough to escape for himself.

Arthur encounters Chief Inspector Peters, the same bobby from his memories. Seeing his face without the mask, he remembers fully that he tricked the same constable using Percy's ID to get off the train. While Percy took the fall. Arthur collapses under the guilt of betraying his brother, but Peters comforts him reminding that remembering is considered a gift. He escorts him across the Britannia Bridge.

Epilogue[]

Arthur and Peters walk across the bridge, Arthur laments on how heinous a person he is. The constable tells him that some people are better than others to handle the truth. He then gives Arthur the choice of forgetting everything by a Oblivion Pill or to remember. If Arthur chooses to remember, he finishes his journey across the Britannia Bridge to the mainland.

If Arthur chooses to forget, he returns to Wellington Wells and is last seen riding on a pink toy bike in one of the parks.
