Notice on Footbridge at South Wigston Railway Station, South Wigston
This notice is to be found at the north end of the footbridge. It tells people what number to ring if a road vehicle bumps into the footbridge. The reference to the Railway Authority is strange as there never was such a body. It probably means the Strategic Rail Authority, which in one of the never-ending re-organisations so popular with politicians, was abolished in 2006 after just a few years life. The successor was Network Rail, but whether the phone number still applies is unknown.
