The top and bottom of it FP, is that pedestrians and trains dont mix do they?
We spend all this money fencing the lineside off from the public, and then allow people to walk across the tracks.
I dont know how many crossings like this there are in the country, I bet I would be "gobsmacked" if I knew the number. The only real answer is to make them an alternative form of crossing, but that costs money, of which we have none for sensible uses, but plenty for greedy bankers.
You are absolutely correct about the complaints that would come from the "nimby" brigade.
