Because I'm that sort of person, this question has
been bugging me for a while.
Where is London's busiest level crossing in terms
of off-peak weekday trains per hour? Where ever
in London it is, is it the busiest level crossing in
the UK? In Europe? Anywhere?
A post on the UK Roads forum suggests Manor Road, Richmond, (adjacent to
North Sheen station) as a possibility.
If that is so (and I think it likely) then the level crossings at Sheen
Lane (adjacent to Mortlake station), White Hart Lane and Vine Road are
equal contenders since all four are on the same stretch of line.
Having four level crossings in close succession on a line that busy is
probably some kind of record.
Can I ask a supplementary question? Whereabouts in London (or even in the
whole of Britain) is the closest pair of level crossings in terms of the
length of road (not railway) between them? I'm talking about separate
crossings with separate sets of barriers. I can think of a pair which are
very close, but I want to see if you suggest the same ones.
