At a packed community meeting organised by Dumbarton MSP Jackie Baillie, Network Rail confirmed that miniature stop lights will be installed at two out of three crossings in the village with the exception of Bainfield Crossing.
Measures to reduce train noise at level crossings in Cardross have been welcomed by the village’s MSP.
Laura Mitchell from Network Rail outlined how the installation of the lights at the crossings locally known as Murray’s Crossing and Geilston Farm would mean that drivers would not need to use their horns at these locations once they become operational. “The attendance really showed the strength of feeling from residents and highlighted how keen people are to find a solution which provides ongoing safety and reduces noise levels for those who are worst affected, whilst ensuring that the crossing remains open.
“On the night, there was a really healthy debate and local people made insightful suggestions which Network Rail will take away to work on. “I am hopeful that, with the installation of the new lights at both Murray’s Crossing and Geilston Farm, this will see a significant reduction of noise.
