I'm not directly saying it should have been changed but in the NCC a clause states when new work is carried out, the new work needs to meet the new standards and existing if practical.   "Practical" is what I am referring to.   The new path finished at the original path so what would be asked is it practical that a new crossover be built. No distances are given it just says not to Indirect discrimination a particular group.

Personaly if it was my client, I would have put it in.   Now that it was not put in at that time, as someone said before, it would now be less practical due to access to the path during trading.

How about they just put it in whilst SE is down for maintenance? From memory, AA is usually accessed via Chinatown Alley whilst SE is under maintenance, so there would be no disruption to access whilst trading.
