Warning sign
It needs a very graphic diagram to emphasise the specific danger, but in practice this would only occur at this location if the crossing was being used in the other direction.

Fields near Silverdale (1)
This view is looking east pretty well along the line of the proposed tram route to Clifton. It will pass close to the protruding fence at the left, then up to the distant hedge line. This marks the former Great central Railway line, onto which the tram will turn left and follow almost as far as Wilford Bridge.

This view is looking east pretty well along the line of the proposed tram route to Clifton. It will pass close to the protruding hedge at the left, then up to the distant hedge line. This marks the former Great central Railway line, onto which the tram will turn left and follow almost as far as Wilford Bridge. The tram line will be flanked by a corridor of open space together with a new pedestrian route round the southern end of Silverdale.
