level crossing

According to the Treasury, the £445m will be spent on fixing level crossings, building new stations and upgrading existing lines, and is a combination of direct funding and cash for the Welsh government.

The UK government said its rail network enhancements pipeline also paid for the redevelopment of Cardiff Central Station, improved level crossings in north Wales and support for the upgraded south Wales relief lines.

A train has hit a tractor and trailer on a level crossing in Herefordshire, bringing rail services to a halt.

Video of dangerous incidents at level crossings has been released as part of a summer safety campaign.

Residents said the level crossing was closed to pedestrians and vehicles for much of Monday.
