Enamel Notice

Notice, enamel, British Railways (Eastern Region), 'British Transport Commission, warning indicators show from which direction a train is approaching but always stop look and listen before crossing', white letters on blue background.

Alternative Interpretation, written by a community member with lived experience of disability, D/deafness and/or neurodivergence, as part of the Curating for Change project: “Stop, Look and Listen – the most important things we should do when crossing the tracks at a level crossing. But what about people who might have sight or hearing loss? How are these types of crossings accessible to those people? A footbridge over the tracks is potentially a safer option and this was an option being proposed at a crossing near me. A new, steps-only footbridge – and almost 90 steps at that. Yet that then becomes inaccessible to wheelchair users, and people with other mobility difficulties. Why is inaccessible infrastructure still being considered in 2024?”
