Hayle Station Foot Crossing Closed Report by Mike Roach

Hi Keith                      HAYLE STATION

The pedestrian footpath crossing at Hayle Station was permanently closed today Friday 28 March 2014 at 06.00 hours. Alongside is an underpass which has probably been there since the railway was built.  Steps are being constructed from platform level down to the underpass road, on both sides of the track. Until the steps are completed there is a long diversion for passengers wanting to get to the up platform, using a newly constructed tarmac path on the north side.  Regards  Mike 

                 Many thanks for this note and the pictures.
