Level Crossings: Tilbury
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what discussions she has had with Network Rail on whether the isolation of East Tilbury during prolonged barrier closures constitutes a safety risk.
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 looks at each level crossing in detail and works closely with local authorities and communities to understand the impact on the wider local road network.
