    I noticed on one of the FB rail groups a couple of the "Seasoned Complainers" are commenting. Other than that it looks reasonably possitive from the locals.

    In fact, some respondents were enjoying the road closure due to the peace and quiet.

    The overhead pictures on part two, appear to show a nicely surfaced pedestrian route.
    But it appears to show one end of that path closed. Am I missing something?

    Presumably this photo shows the path after tarmac had been laid, but before it had fully cured and was usable for crossing, so was blocked off.

    Several more updates: here and here. (The latter one covers work elsewhere than on the level crossing.)

    I am told that there is a post on FB showing that the 4 slabs have been laid. There are a couple of blog entries showing the laying of the slabs and the fitting of the rails.
