SK7867 : Driver's-eye view of Grassthorpe level crossing
near to Weston, Nottinghamshire County, Great Britain

Driver's-eye view of Grassthorpe level crossing
The sign on the crossing reads "GRASSTHORPE L.C. / CROSSING CLOSES NIGHTLY / 22:00 - 06:00". The reason for this is that the crossing is manually operated - drivers wait whilst the crossing operator phones for clearance and opens the gates - and there is no night shift.
The train is a high-speed electric job on the east-coast main-line, which here passes through the very flat Trent plain, which explains the number of level-crossings (many have been upgraded to overbridges now).
I know that driver's-view photographs are normally rejected, but here it's very much part of the context!
