Default level crosings on the LUL

A recent thread on a related newsgroup talked about the
Croxley Green branch which has been "cut" by what is
commonly referred to as the "Watford bypass" but which I
believe is just an access road to an industrial estate If
so then a level crossing should easily cope with the rail
and road traffic. The thread went on to mention the
proposal for LUL to take over this branch to run the Met
into Watford High Street/Junction. This got me thinking,
are there any level crossings on the London Underground
(surface lines, obviously). National Rail also have barrow
crossings and pedestrian footpath (and at least one shared
footpath/cyclepath) crossings at rail level but is there
anything similar on the L.U. (including shared Nat. Rail
sections)?

What about the pedestrian footpath that crosses the line just beyond
Amersham? Although no LU trains run up there, the line is managed by LU,

so
I suppose it counts?


There used to be a level crossing on the Central Line somewhere on the
eastern section around Leyton. But it was closed to road traffic (the road
was turned into two cul-de-sacs [1]) many decades ago. I can't remember the
details now.


[1] culs-de-sac?
