Page "Bentleigh railway station" Paragraph 5

In 2006, the station had the pedestrian level crossing upgraded as part of the VicTrack trial of new crossing technology.

The upgrades were fully operational by September 2006, and were monitored for six months to assess changes in pedestrian behaviour.

The emergency exits from the crossing were replaced with locking gates 1. 5 metres high, and that only be opened from one side.

Additional warning devices were also fitted with the common ' red pedestrian ' sign, as well as an LED light box saying " Another Train Coming " which is lit when, either an express train is bound on the DOWN line, or when a train is expected after another train on the UP line.
