Don't know the area very well,but is it the small bridge over the railway line?

If so,put in a speed limit and could a watch person not just observe the bridge when a train is getting near.

The stone work is only going to fall on the roof of the train>

ITV Wednesday morning breakfast news,doing a news item on feet on seats.

Mainly about feet on seats on airplanes,but might include about feet seats on trains.

Does Parson Street actually need a second down road,how often have you been waiting on the train for the Weston route to be cleared.

I would much prefer an up line double tracking from Rose view meadow under pass towards Parson Street with relevant crossovers,
 which could ease congestion getting into temple meads.

Having said that IF a main signal was installed on the up main at Parson Street near the steps,IF there was a problem of not being able to get into BTM▸ (Bristol Temple Meads (strictly, it should be BRI))

I would prefer getting off at PS to gain access to BTM or where I was heading too,as opposed to stuck on a train for an extended period of time
