Great news regarding Stokesay castle
"Dear all,
The railway crossing is due to have automatic gates installed and as the mechanism is not yet working a chain had been looped over the post to keep it shut. It was not locked.
Network Rail are concerned about how the crossings are being used as it appears people are opening the gates individually and leaving the vehicle waiting on the railway line. The correct procedure is to open both gates before crossing.
NR are interested in having more contact with users and the Rail Crossing Manager for the area, John Wilson, would welcome a call from you. His number is 07808245429.
We do not intend taking any more action on this matter.
