Hi all
I have recently applied for the role of crossing keeper , based at Littlehaven, and I,m currently trying to research the crossing. However the information I've found online seems to suggest that, in 2012 the crossing was changed to a cctv operated crossing , controlled by a signaller based at three bridges. Thus making the role of crossing keeper redundant . I was just wondering if that is actually the case , and if so what would be the need to have a crossing keeper based at the crossing? If that isn't the case and this is actually still a manned crossing, operated by the keeper himself , it must be the plan of network rail to have this controlled from three bridges, and I was wondering , how long would the crossing keeper they are recruiting be needed for? Thank you for any information you pass on in advance .
