I am posting this because of the need to look outside the box at the possibilities regarding step-free access and accessibility of train travel.  Sometimes there are or could be options that Network Rail themselves with their money constraints will not/could not have considered.

Network Rail have been heavily criticised for trying to replace this footbridge with a like-for-like stepped one rather quickly when the best time to improve accessibility would obviously be when replacement of a footbridge is deemed necessary for maintenance/safety reasons and not just accessibility.

I don't know whether there has actually been a conclusion to this but I know that greater consultation did result in more and different alternative proposals.  We should now all also  acknowledge that crowdfunding plays an important part in creating new structures and refurbishments nowadays.
