The answer

Answered by Fiona Hyslop on 7 Dec 2023 · 12 days after it was lodged, on time

Infrastructure on the UK rail network, including level crossings on the West Coast Mainline, is a matter for Network Rail, therefore Network Rail would be best placed to provide this information.
Network Rail advises that all level crossings fully meet the operational and safety requirements and regularly undergo the required risk assessment programme.
