21 June (Part 1) - Safe route cut
I’m
pretty sure this has been
featured here before but another report of outdated
signs landed in the Inbox. This one is on Harrow Manorway opposite Sainsbury’s
and has been redundant since Crossrail construction got well underway.
It used to offer a safe route to the station but was blocked by Bexley Council
while Felixstowe Road was
reconfigured in 2019 and never reopened
when the job was completed.
If you follow the sign as I did yesterday the path comes to an end under the flyover but all
is not lost. Someone has removed a section of the fence around the Felixstowe
Road car park. It probably doesn’t offer much of a shortcut to the station
compared with crossing Harrow Manorway but it does mean that following the sign
is not a complete waste of time.
