Any indication of where Dewsbury will get barriered, as I can't see any sensible place without causing one problem or another. I'm also not sure if the bridge forms a right of way between the two sides of the station, too?
Unsure as of yet, but it is a franchise requirement and needs to be completed 'soon'. The ideal solution would be to barrier the up platform (towards Hudds) and have people manning the access gate on the bridge.
I understand a solution may be forthcoming in due course. The right of way is a bit of a moot point, as the station closes after the last service departs, and the right of way ceases to exist. This may enable the right of way to be permanently removed although as of yet I've not heard any more details.
What I can add is that TPE have commenced peak hour station manning with revenue staff ensuring those people accessing platforms have tickets to travel.
