Network Rail, ADEPT and IPROW are undertaking a review of the Public Rights of Way Level Crossings on the Rail Network Memorandum of Understanding, as it’s now 5 years since it was first signed and circulated. It is important that as part of the review, views from all parties help to inform how useful it has been over the last 5 years and thoughts on how it could be revised, particularly acknowledging the existence of the subsequently published Guidance Note on Sections 118A & 119A Highways Act 1980.
