Residents invited to find out about closure of level crossing in Cleethorpes
- Region & Route:
- Eastern
Network Rail is inviting residents in Cleethorpes to find out more about the closure of Suggitt’s Lane level crossing in the town.
The crossing connects Suggitt’s Lane to Cleethorpes promenade and sees over 50 passenger trains travel over the crossing daily.
Network Rail will close the crossing later this month to improve safety as there have been many instances of both intentional and non-intentional misuse at the level crossing. This includes people walking up the tracks, using motorcycles on the crossing and young children crossing unaccompanied.
Network Rail is holding a public information event for those wishing to find out more about the closure. This will take place at Saint Peter’s Church Hall in Cleethorpes on Thursday, 21 March between 15:00 and 19:00. Representatives from Network Rail will be on hand to answer any questions which residents may have.
Anyone who cannot make the event, but wishes to find out more can call the Network Rail National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.

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.
