This used to catch me out occasionally at Stone Crossing where the gates would be locked up 3-4 minutes before the train with the permit to travel machine on the up side.
The installation of a footbridge has put an end to that particular issue.
That’s going back a good few years! Station access only to platform 2 now. Step bridge from there to platform 1. The footpath at the southern end of the station no longer crosses the track, but has a footbridge, but no platform access. Thus meaning longer trains could now call, or even platform extended.
Although permit to travel machine still there, it doesn’t work and there’s a TVM now. Stone is almost in the 21st Century!
The lovely station building is still in use as a community centre, with private residence upstairs.
