answer text <p>This is an operational matter for Network Rail who have a policy of actively pursuing closure of level crossings at every opportunity.</p><br /><p>The company has already closed nearly 1,000 level crossings since 2009 but, since the circumstances at each level crossing are unique, there are no firm rules about closure. Risk assessments are instead undertaken at every site which informs the identification and implementation of further risk controls.</p><br /><p>The United Kingdom already has the best level crossing safety record in Europe but we are supporting Network Rail through a ring-fenced fund to ensure that risks can be reduced even further.</p><br /> more like this

answer text <p>With regard to the peak seat capacity for rail services between Reading to London Paddington, this is commercially confidential information.</p><br /><p>We do not hold information on the demand for rail services specifically between Reading to London Paddington. This is because as most services into Paddington call at Reading, it is difficult to separate passenger numbers between those who are on services prior to arriving at Reading travelling to Paddington; those who are travelling to intermediate stations from Reading; those who change at Reading from other start points; and those travelling between Reading and Paddington.</p><br /><p>Official figures showing the numbers of passengers travelling on trains throughout the day in several major cities can be found online at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466412/rail-passengers-crowding-2014.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/466412/rail-passengers-crowding-2014.pdf</a>. For Paddington station in 2015, the proportion of standard class passengers that are above the capacity on their service at its busiest point is a total of 10.4%.</p><br />
