TL2415 : Welwyn North railway station (3)

near to Digswell, Hertfordshire, Great Britain

Welwyn North railway station (3)
Welwyn North railway station (3)
The footbridge with its fine metal latticework is a Grade II listed structure, but the view of it is ruined by the addition of the metal security screen, the untidy stringing of a cable duct across it, and the modern lamps, not to mention the overhead track electrification cables strung underneath it. The whole structure, on this side at least, is painted in a uniform battleship grey. There is a dilemma here. Network Rail need to maintain a working environment that is safe for both railway passengers and staff and which is efficiently engineered whilst having a duty of care for the infrastructure of historical merit that they have inherited from the railway operating companies in the past. How do they achieve that? Discuss!

The brick building on the right is the south end of the main 1850 built station, a front view of which is here TL2415 : Welwyn North railway station (2).
