| Seems a barking mad idea to me. I lived on GPT in the 80s and like Madeleine I have never heard of any incidents. Obstacle Detection (ie radar) and other new technologies are clearly capable of making level crossings safer and why the spokeswoman would say it would do nothing for safety is beyond me, unless the plan is to get rid of a signalman as well. I'd struggle to see that saving a small proportion of a signalman's time would outweigh the loss of amenity from closing the crossing. |
