I think this is largely only an effect of a lot of rails being third rail and as a result there are fewer crossings.
- vertex-four 7y agoLots of rail is third rail... in London. The entire rest of the country uses overhead lines. We have been phasing out level crossings wherever possible though.
- ben_w 7y agoSouth coast was still third rail, last I checked. Has Wales been upgraded since I left? Not that it matters if the power supply affects the number of crossings and those crossings are supposed to be the cause of accidents, new crossings will be rarely built.
