Lincoln High Street rail barriers
Traffic was diverted from the area of High Street and St Mary's Street on March 5.
Network Rail’s mobile team was on site at around 10.45am and able to manually operate the barriers to keep people moving while the repair was done, which was completed around 12.15pm.

“This was not the first time and probably wont b the last that the barriers were stuck down. My question is why does this never seem to happen in the UP position?”

“Doesn't say where the diversion was ... but if it was the Wharf crossing... then this is the reason why that crossing MUST remain.”
