Whittlesea (or Whittlesey) remains firmly in the Victorin era when

it comes to the signalling that is! Not only does have a full-sized and fully operational mechanical box to the east of the station but also has this small crossing box where the keeper is based. When a train is due he leaves the confines of the cabin and manually closes the gates to road users, it is manned twenty-four hours. Andy can be seen crossing the level crossing in the blue Nissan Micra.
