Urgent safety warning in Bingham as drivers move barriers to pass closed crossing

An urgent safety warning has been issued in Bingham following the closure of a busy route.

The level crossing at Chapel Lane, Bingham, will be closed this week in order that Western Power Distribution (WPD) can install a new underground electricity cable which will supply the new leisure centre down the road.

But during the closure, WPD said its teams have been alarmed to see drivers move safety barriers and drive over the crossing, despite of clear diversion signs. Trains are continuing to use the line while the crossing is closed.
