Bombers foot crossing
A view west for a pedestrian about to cross south to north - a poor view. The bridge is 190 m away. The only specially listed hazard in Network Rail's risk assessment at the time was sun glare. The sighting in the other direction for anybody crossing is much better.
This crossing was risk assessed a year earlier at individual risk C (scale A bad - M good) and collective risk 10 (scale 1 bad - 13 good). The stated line speed was 85 mph. There were 66 trains per day, 'infrequent' users.
A later assessment in 2013 increased collective risk to 9, the only recorded changes being more trains (77) and a recognition of the poor sighting time. There was still no requirement for trains to 'whistle'.

Bombers foot crossing
A view west for a pedestrian about to cross north to south - not a great view. The bridge is 190 m away. The only specially listed hazard in Network Rail's risk assessment at the time was sun glare - the camera is suffering a little from it here. The sighting this way for anybody crossing in the other direction is worse.

Bombers foot crossing
Anybody falling down the steps on the far side will come up against a fence, but not from this side. The only specially listed hazard in Network Rail's risk assessment at the time was sun glare, but the sighting in one direction of crossing in one direction of the track is far from good - see Image
