They just ( Aug '22) installed a new track and pedestrian walkway at this crossing. It has a very ingenious plate which fills in the gap between the rails and walkway to make the walking area contiguous. This plate is somehow spring loaded and depressed by the train wheel flanges as the train passes by. I've never seen this idea before anywhere in the world. Anyone know what this system is called and how it works ? Might be worth a vid.
i used to live very close to this, literally ten mins away, there was no contiguous walkway when I was a kid, going across the tracks scared the sh1t out of me. i prefered the subway. glad they got a footbridge here too.
Amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Nice!
Thanks!
I love it
No broken alarms here but one thing here new barriers
'Turn off engines'
Car drivers: hmm?
How many trains does this line get all day?
The estimate for a typical day is somewhere in the region of 150 in total going to and coming from Chingford according to Network Rail
Cool
