The ECML still has today (2022) a number of manually operated level crossing gates where minor roads intersect with the line just north of Doncaster. This one at Heyworth is still in operation very much as is seen here back in 1981. The resident crossing keeper lived in the house just out of view to the right and would have to contact either York or Doncaster PSB for permission to open the gates. She is seen here closing the gates, as they remained by default due to the limited road traffic, after we had passed over in the Austin 1100.
