Looks like it may be permanent. It says the crossing is being decommissioned.

It'll be a real pity if it is. I'll miss the camaraderie stood there with hundreds of others in the freezing cold rain and pitch black waiting for a train to Redcar to go past with one person on it.

Just wait for the damn thing coming back after the match - like sardines.

 

[Oooo]

so can pedestrians not cross? The notice seems to say they can but the other link says not

Bad news for the Navigation if that's shut off permanently.

That’s what I was thinking, would it be the final nail in the coffin for the Nav?? I suppose people could walk down to the underpass…….

Pure conjecture on my part, but I wonder if they're automating the crossing to get rid of the fella in the signal box.

After some night matches those barriers finally going up have brought the biggest cheer of the evening. After the Barnsley game we had a rendition of........ Up the barrier, the barrier's going up, the barrier's going up to stay

The barriers in Billingham and Stockton have been updated and automated recently. Maybe they are updating that one for when the area around the Navigation is developed.....
