I'm no expert (not even close) but it's a simple bridge, plenty of space to build it - where do they come easier? Just thinking of the few that I know (any sort of gated road crossing) - Thatcham, cramped, adjacent canal and river, station access; Hamstead Marshall, better but still constrained to the south; Wokingham - in the middle of the town. I'm sure there will be plenty more as easy as Ufton, but there can't be many easier road crossings unless they can simply close the road.
Fair comment bd but, to be clear, I was actually referring to AHBC's.
Anyway, decision made, it will be done. It would seem that NR are removing a reputation rather than an increased physical danger.
