There were one or to if these a few years ago…

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/runaway-of-a-mobile-elevated-work-platform-from-belle-isle-junction

“At around 03:40 hrs on 16 May 2021, a mobile elevated work platform (MEWP)
ran away while being on-tracked at a road-rail access point (RRAP) near
Belle Isle junction, north London. The MEWP was due to be used within an
overnight possession of the track between Belle Isle junction and Canal
Tunnel junction. The machine operator onboard the MEWP was unable to stop
the vehicle and jumped from it as it was running away.” Etc.

Seems to be a not uncommon occurance. If operators can't be trusted not to
lift the road wheels off the ground perhaps a barrier vehicle should be used
on either side just in case.

Why hasn't some one come up with a scotch (=wheel chock) secured to the
rail with an easily released "over centre" lever operated retaining
mechanism?

Install a pair either side of the access point, and Bob Sherunkle.
