Train companies are not usually too keen on random people wandering about on railway property, but Witley Station's platform 1 is a public right of way. A look at the map shows why. A footpath heading north - south looks like it used to cross the line just past the end of the station, presumably at a level crossing of some sort. Not all trains stop at Witley, so some are going fast through here. A safer option has been to divert the path along the platform to cross the line at the footbridge. Once across, the path rejoins the original route via the station forecourt.
