New Civil Engineer lets you read a certain number of articles over a period before it Firewalls you.   I too was sufficiently disinterested in their content to be able to see it earlier.

“At the moment, the plan for delivering the new platform 5 and the new western entrance will see works commence in early 2027 with a view to it being in place ready for when East West Rail and Cowley Branch Line need it in probably December 2030,” Clark said.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner."  Discuss.
