It could simply be that at some point during the preparation of the press release to the public several items have been combined and nobody has properly proofread or cross checked the final product. Or all road closures might have been lumped together and when producing a list for the general public, nobody noticed the retention of another item.
I think that they mean the Twickenham Albany Bus Stand will be closed (which is not a level crossing at all), this is on the opposite side of London Road from the present station, but it was the forecourt of the old station which closed in 1954.
Now you’ve pinned it down, it’s obviously an ideal access point for craneage, as suggested by @Gloster above.
Yes I saw your reply too, but didn’t click on as to where the bus stand actually was at the time...
Someone may have got predictive text and started typing Albany but Arriva appeared instead, do people not proof read things before they publish them???
There's usually a few follow up possessions but should be nearly done on that section. The Wokingham area is still to be resignalled too so there will be more possessions at that end of the line.
To be pedantic, this phase of resignalling starts from Egham; Virginia Water through to Rusham Level Crossing
Yes, I knew it was somewhere between V Water and Egham, but not exactly where.
This was at Staines this weekend:
Nice touch.

Network Rail reaches milestone in southwest London resignalling scheme
Network Rail has reached a major milestone in its Feltham and Wokingham re-signalling programme when it successfully switched on 116 new signals.
Yes, saw that!Going well... Cancellations due to a signal failure between Staines and Windsor
I presume it's part of the same complex as NR's Network House office building diagonally opposite Feltham station on the north side of the line, although the map on waze.com gives its address as Crendon Court, 7 Hanworth Road on the south side of the line.
I emailed Open Train Times about it last month but never received a response, so I'm wondering if the site is still supported. As it stands it's still showing the pocession in the Staines area from late August.
I gave them up for lost years ago. Absolutely useless to a (ex-) freighty. Every link seemed to go to a class 2 in the NE of England.
It is indeed next door to Network House. Crendon Court is a smallish block of flats across the railway (and indeed visible from the former box), on the same small crescent as the Alf King Children’s Centre and the Headquarters of the World Zoroastrian Organisation
Missed out in error. Thanks for the spot! Now corrected.
