Title: Level Crossing Survey
Post by: SandTEngineer on March 17, 2016, 18:00:18
Saw this on the WNXX Forum.  Thought people on here might be interested in contributing https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iUwK7iPQPL4-YEYTLa1RfM1TGJkop47h5YecuZ0ooo4/viewform?c=0&w=1

Quite a few examples of Darwinism in action being used here!

Worth doing and doesn't take as long as is suggested...unless you have to tell them why you are regularly ignoring LC signs and find deciding not to cross a difficult decision.  :)

Interesting indeed. Will restrain from certain comments so as not to influence others.  Will say it seems to concentrate on road level crossings rather than the many places that public footpaths cross the line ...

Completed and declared that I hold a PTS (Personal Track Safety) Certificate from my heritage railway on which I volunteer and work trackside, as this will have influenced my answers.
I am a great respecter of crossings. Training includes the poor human perception of train approach speeds and an overestimation as to the amount of noise they make on approach.

I've completed the survey, based on my experience as more of a user of pedestrian crossings of the railway line than of road level crossings. (See grahame's post above).  :-X

Done, but based on my own experiences of working with these things.

I hope we get the results.

Survey filled in. My responses influenced more by being a daily commuter encountering regular delays due to trespassing on tracks or people being hit by trains than by having to use level crossings regularly.

Well, Nana Andrea should get the benefit of a very broad range of experiences from the responses to this questionnaire, then.

I hope we get the results.

It would indeed be interesting to see the 'results' of the survey, but we have been told:

Quote
The results of this survey will be used for scholarly purposes only. It will not be used in a manner which would allow identification of your individual responses which means all information collected will be anonymous. Your responses will be removed from this website at the end of the project. All responses are anonymous, strictly confidential and your data will be stored in a password protected electronic format.

However, "If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to send an email to eaynas@nottingham.ac.uk"  ;)
