They are clearly taking concrete steps to improve accessibility at the new DIRFT3 freight terminal. There are two sets of steps, one either side of the bridleway bridge over the throat of the new yard. They are presumably intended to allow horse riders to dismount and lead their nervous nags over the footbridge (hoofbridge?) before remounting on the other side. Notice that they are designed for reversible working. View looks NE towards M1.
