London's Only Railway Foot Crossing

Channel: Geoff Marshall

Description
Out between Westcombe Park and Charlton is something most unusual ... a foot crossing in London across a regularly used railway line. It's freight only - not a passenger branch, but is it London's only railway foot crossing?

Welcome to the line to Angerstein Wharf ... There's rumour that the foot crossing may be replaced with a pedestrian subway that goes underneath instead at somepoint in the future.

CORRECTION
Where I say 'A2' it is of course, the A102.
