What standards apply to rail infrastructure these days.
Is it the case that new platforms have to be straight or on very gentle curves? What is the maximum radius allowed.?
Is new pointwork/turnouts banned on gradients? What is the max gradient allowed?
Do all new footbridges have to have lifts? The new or refurbished one at Eridge doesn't seem to have any, although I haven't seen it in the 'flesh'.
