RMweb Gold big jim Posted February 8, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 8, 2013 That fence alongside CR212 signal was thanks to my campaining to the then MD of FNW, while i worked for them i got assaulted after asking someone not to cross the line there (as a train approached) and he followed me home Nd beat me up on my doorstep, after a letter to the MD he contacted network rail personally who came and fenced it off to stop trespass.

Stevelewis Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 This brings back a memory! About 10 years ago i often used to pick up one of my sons on a Friday when he came home from The University of Manchester for the weekend , at Shotton low level, to reach the low level platfroms it was nescessary to walk along an approx 1/4 mile path from Shotton High Level, this path was along the high level track, I noticed that there was a section of track just before the line crossed the low level (Chester - Holyhead) where the sleepers were in what appeared to me to be in a very poor rotting state! After a few weeks of noting this I plucked up the courage to phone Network Rail ( I think they were the authority in those days?) within 10 days the whole section of the affected track had been replaced, and they even installed one of those expansion joint thingys! I hate to think what may have happened if the rotten sleepers had given way as one of the Shotton Steel trains had passed over them! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
