A dangerous level crossing where two people have died in 30 years and there has been a series of near misses is set to be closed. Bailey Lane crossing in Grange opened in 1857 to take walkers from the south Cumbria town across the Furness Line onto its famed Edwardian promenade. It has remained closed temporarily since last year after being declared a danger by Network Rail.
