Love the typo 'dafty' for safety ! So who do all the sane customers travel with ??

Defo not FGW^▸ (First Great Western) it seems. Private Helicopter?

So before Maidenhead station's last "upgrade" there must have been at least 3 staff members there all night since that was a public right of way... For daft and non daft people alike ;-)

[ChrisB]

No, its not a public right of way....hence the signage referred to earlier

[NickB]

I just don't see how one person concealed in a back-room (presumably watching the world on CCTV^▸ (Closed Circuit Tele Vision)) is any less able to ensure dafty (sic) and security at two doors rather than one.

[ChrisB]

A lot of these CCTV^▸ (Closed Circuit Tele Vision) cameras are record only, and may not be monitored live 24/7

It is not a public right of way and never has been. Staff are within their rights to refuse people "just to walk through to the other side".

Well yes.. but it was used as if it was one for many years

If something is used as a right of way then doesn't it eventually get classed as such?

I don't think you mean right of way. That would mean legal action could be taken against anyone blocking it.

The traditional way to prevent a route becoming a right of way is to close it once a year - Christmas day is a popular choice. That asserts the right to obstruct it, against the public's right to use it.

Yes I do believe that after a certain passage of time an implied right of way becomes a public right of way, unless signage is there to stop it. I think thats why you also see signs saying "Highways Act (1980?) This is not a designated public right of way"
s31. Highways Act 1980
