Completion of the HK Down Yard Crossing – Summer 2024
The infrastructure team have completed the vehicular crossing over all the new trackwork in the Horsted Keynes
down yard and connect it to the crossing over the line down to Sheffield Park.
The old crossing over the line to the line to the south of Horsted Keynes was moved when the running in line crossover points and three-way points were put in back in 2019. The down yard has a number of points requiring a mixed solution to complete the crossing. New wooden gates were installed on both sides of the main line. These consisted of one wide and one narrow gate on each side, the narrow gate was for foot traffic and the wider gate for vehicles.
