Title: Pedestrian crossing over running line at Twyford? Post by: grahame on June 01, 2008, 10:18:11 Did my eyes deceive me on Friday evening, or is there a pedestrian level crossing over the running line leading to the Henley line that commuters use in great numbers to get to the car park? I'm afraid I usually pass through Twyford at some speed - so I was somewhat surprised at what I think I saw as my train pulled out ... passengers crossing the tracks, and a train coming off the branch and tooting at them to let them know it was there.
