A wide-angle shot that shows the general environs at Woodcroft level crossing. There are manually operated gates controlled by a gatekeeper who has a small hut on the far side of the line from here. The default is for the gates to be closed to road users. If passage is required, the road user rings a bell and the gate keeper will open the gates, if clear. We were kept waiting here for about 20 minutes for the passage of various trains. One of the workings was the 1E03 05.29 Stirling to London King's Cross with power car 43299 leading.
