Level Crossings: Tilbury
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Network Rail on the impact of prolonged closures on (a) community access and (b) local transport while undertaking its statutory duties to ensure safety at East Tilbury Level Crossing.
Answered by Keir Mather
It is the responsibility of Network Rail, as the infrastructure manager for East Tilbury Level Crossing, to assess and manage the risks associated with the crossing in accordance with its statutory safety duties. Network Rail also has a duty of care to support accessibility and mitigate the impacts of prolonged downtime, as far as reasonably practicable, whilst ensuring safety is not compromised for all those using or near the crossing.
