NORWOOD ROAD LEVEL CROSSING

This is the leve3l crossing that lies just west of March West footbridge and probably best known as being about 200 yards from the old entrance to March Depot. It's not usually possible to do much here but they've recently hacked back all of the foliage to erect security fencing and so, for the time being at rate, it offers the chance of some decent shots. Another advantage is that everything passes here very slowly, about 20 - 30 mph.
