Green light for NR to close crossings

Sixteen level crossings in Cambridgeshire will either close or be modified by Network Rail, after it received permission from Government.

Additionally, NR has been given permission to alter highway rights at the underbridge at Littleport station.

NR will now work with landowners and Cambridgeshire County Council to agree the final steps in the design process, including finalising planning permission where necessary.

Similar plans are being taken forward for Suffolk, Essex, Southend-on-Sea, Thurrock, Hertfordshire and the London Borough of Havering.
