As I write the Government in London has announced 6 billion (6 x 10 to power 9) pounds of public spending cuts. This crossing is a minor illustration of the profligate wastage in the first decade of the 21st century. The blue sign has automatically been put up on every level crossing in Scotland, even though "authorised user" usually means everybody who is taking land access in a responsible manner. This crossing is even used by a cycle route and the Fife Coastal Path. Mad! It is miraculous that designated routes can pass this way, as Network Rail automatically fight every core path designation crossing a railway, and once put a spokesman up on radio who obviously did not know that Scotland was a different country to England, with different laws.
