Bingham level crossing – have your say
- Region & Route:
Following feedback, Network Rail is holding another public event to discuss options to close the level crossing at Moor Lane in Bingham. The work is to reduce the risk of misuse and create a safer crossing over the railway.
Martin Frobisher, East Midlands route managing director for Network Rail said: “Working with the local community we want to find a solution to this crossing point. There are still different options on the table of how we achieve this.
These proposals are part of Network Rail’s level crossing improvement scheme. Network Rail is committed to reducing the risk at level crossings across the East Midlands. We want to hear as many local residents’ views as possible.”
The next public event will take place on 10 December at Bingham Methodist Centre from 14.00 until 20.00. Members of the project team will be on hand to answer any questions.
Options include:
- A fully accessible bridge at Moor Lane including ramps
- A smaller stepped footbridge with additional footpaths
- Modifications to the existing station footbridge

About Network Rail
We own, operate and develop Britain's railway infrastructure; that's 20,000 miles of track, 30,000 bridges, tunnels and viaducts and the thousands of signals, level crossings and stations. We run 20 of the UK's largest stations while all the others, over 2,500, are run by the country's train operating companies.
Usually, there are almost five million journeys made in the UK and over 600 freight trains run on the network. People depend on Britain's railway for their daily commute, to visit friends and loved ones and to get them home safe every day. Our role is to deliver a safe and reliable railway, so we carefully manage and deliver thousands of projects every year that form part of the multi-billion pound Railway Upgrade Plan, to grow and expand the nation's railway network to respond to the tremendous growth and demand the railway has experienced - a doubling of passenger journeys over the past 20 years.
