Another one way station ...

A railway footbridge has been closed off indefinitely after an inspection uncovered safety concerns.

The facility, at South Bank railway station, near Middlesbrough, provides access to platform two serving eastbound train services between the town and Saltburn.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, which has responsibility for the bridge, said it would be working with engineers on a long-term plan for the crossing.

Rail operator Northern said minibuses were operating in order to allow passengers to travel between Middlesbrough, South Bank and Redcar Central station.

From that quote from the BBC:

In March, Labour's South Bank councillor Neil Bendelow said the bridge, which was also inaccessible to wheelchair users, was in a poor condition and an upgrade was required urgently.

Apparently, nothing much was done, the footbridge still being used daily - until over six months later, when this suddenly happened:



A railway footbridge has been closed off indefinitely after an inspection uncovered safety concerns.

So, those 'safety concerns' have been there for at least six months, without any action being taken - until now.
