66592, 03.25 Garston-London Gateway (4L52, 3L), site of Roade station Until recently taking a photograph from the footbridge that spans the WCML at the site of Roade's former station was easy with a low parapet on the eastward side at least. However, in their wisdom and in an attempt to spoil it for local children (and photographers for that matter) NR deemed it a safety-critical site and installed what appears to be polycarbonate parapet risers thus obliterating any view. Allegedly, this was due to incidents of school children climbing on the parapet. I have lived in the village for over fifteen years now and pass this spot almost daily at all times of the day and have never ever seen any such behaviour; another example of overzealous and ridiculous health and safety actions that will have cost us, the tax payers, yet more of our precious money - rant over! Taken now using my steps, 66592 'Johnson Stevens Agencies' passes the spot working the 4L52 03.25 Garston to London Gateway Freightliner service.
