Tuesday September 22 2020 at 16.40. The 16.13 Cambridge North to London Liverpool Street (17.44). This was filmed on New Year’s Eve eve in 2011 and it has proved popular. I remember it well, it is quite distinctive. Since then there are new lights, boards, barriers, lifting gear, train and road surface. The road was awful before and the barriers were raised with wires. The lights do go out too soon now when the barriers are barely three feet up. The wait here was 3 min 42 secs slightly less than last time. You won’t be but you should be impressed that the train horn is timed perfectly on both cameras. This is a crossing where the railway really has messed up its name. This is Audley End, the only place called that in the country. Audley End Station is what you can just see in the blurry view up the line at the end. But the railway call this Trees LC. Why? Because a short bit of road in rural Norfolk is called Audley End and someone foolishly named the level crossing there that rather than the village it is in. You’d think someone at Network Rail might have enough about them to put things like this right. Everyone knows that if there was an accident here the news media would call this Audley End LC.
