A gangway has a proximal gangway element, a distal gangway element, a distal stanchion hinged to the distal gangway element, and a distal stanchion control mechanism for converting sliding movement of the distal gangway element into rotational movement of the distal stanchion. The distal stanchion control mechanism has a spring associated with the distal stanchion and configured to bias the distal stanchion towards a raised terminal position, a return bracket slidably mounted to the distal gangway element, and a cam member rotationally integral with the distal stanchion and configured to engage the return bracket. With the distal gangway element in the retracted terminal position, the return bracket abuts against a distal end of the proximal gangway element and is located in a distal terminal position relative to the distal gangway element. Raising of the distal stanchion is caused by movement of the distal gangway element relative to the return bracket.
