WELNEY ROAD LEVEL CROSSING

This set of AHB's is located between Manea Station and the Wash Bridges on the Manea - Welney road. The view towards Manea is excellent, with the semaphores providing a great backdrop. The view eastwards is not so good but is nevertheless tolerable, particularly if there is no sun. No facilities but Manea does have a good chip shop which opens at 1130 on a Saturday!
