How about a pair of these, matching LH and RH versions must be available,
and an over running train could just knock it out of the way...

Ah, the Brockenhurst traverser - shades of the old arrangement at
White City with the movable platform that could be swivelled out of
the way of the depot access track.

For anyone who's interested, 'Yokel' wrote about the Brockenhurst

And it came up again very recently on uk.r - this poster says it's
still in daily use:

So, we've solved the Edgware Road teacup problem - I'm sure Boris will
just bat away any H&S concerns - so what next?
