this lineside notice?

[truckman060473]

whilst on a walk around Ferryside/St Ishmaels to Pembrey I noticed a Network Rail sign on the railway saying "You are now entering a ?????? environment" (or something about referring to staff training beyond this point). just wondering what this was?

Probably a legally protected environment notice, there is on on the Penistone line. Guessing it may be an SSSI or AONB, so there will be laws on what work can and can't be doen in that area, or what protection it needs.

I've seen them down at Purfleet on the Tilbury Loop and in Thetford Forest. Indicate when you are entering a nature conservation area of SSSI, and to employ appropriate working practices.

It's what 142094 said. There are certain restrictions placed on what you can do with and without permission of who takes care of a Special Site of Scientific Interest, or an Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
I'll have a look for you and see if I can find any official notices.

Platform ends throughout the New Forest have these signs posted:

There is a long stretch of track from Clifton no.2 tunnel to Ham Green on the Portbury Branch,from Parson st(in the outskirts of Bristol) with these signs it is to do with ecological protected areas.

Yep, same sort of thing on track at Anston Stones Woods and Gorge, SYJR, Nr Worksop. Basically it means to NR, clean up yer mess, dont cut trees down, dont dump owt on the embankments, cuttings, banks or edges and dont set fire to the weeds.....sorry flora/fauna aka Rose Bay Willow herb muck, hairy caterpillars at large. Dont apply weedkiller or wipe out any thing green with diesel!!:roll::roll:

Tree huggers at large!!

I don't know if the line is still open or not but there was a line near Worksop that had the reverse of those signs.
Do not pass this point without training due to chemical risk.
