Instead of a footbridge or barrow crossing, the NER installed a removable section of platform, in the form of a wheeled trolley running on rails set at right-angles to the running line. When a train was approaching, the drawbridge was withdrawn under the Up (York) platform. The trolley was interlocked with the signals giving access to the platform.
