Bridge RTT 62 This takes How Green Lane over the Redhill - Tonbridge line. It is at right angles to the railway and is narrow, producing a nasty dog-leg in the lane.

Limited visibility rail foot crossing, Bough Beech This crossing is fine for those crossing left to right. Crossing the other way, the bridge and curve in the track means there is only about five seconds visible warning from a position of safety for a train approaching at 60 mph. This is surely sub-standard.
