100% of sites will have an improvement in travel time following removal of level crossings.

Increased vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist throughput per hour in a defined area around the level crossing

100% of sites will have increased throughput of vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians following removal of level crossings.

Standard deviation of travel time from specified origin to destination during a specified time period through the level crossing

100% of sites with boom gate closures of more than 25% of the AM peak will have an improvement to the reliability of travel time following removal of level crossings

Average variability in train punctuality directly attributable to the level crossing

100% of sites will have an elimination of passenger weighted minutes as a result of signal faults at the level crossing following removal of level crossings.
