The gates ahead bar any further progress on the original line, the red sign points to the new route to the right. The diversion must have been made a long time ago - the area beyond is of landfill and looks very established. The small yellow sign is a public notice concerning a sought-for extension of the time allowed for "restoration" of the site. How an area of low-lying marsh can be restored from a rather high area of landfill without removing what was dumped is a puzzle.
