This last phase will be the most costly because of the need to make a safe crossing of the mainline railway. The existing crossing has recently been refurbished to a strangely high standard and it is unfortunate that we could not all have set down to work out something similar to the Stroudwater Canal bridge further up the same railway line.

 

The last section of path should follow the very minor road to Bradford-on-Tone rather than bypassing this central settlement along the Greenway. This same road is currently used by the West Deane Way which would reroute onto the Greenway here if the railway crossing could be secured.
