A level crossing located just outside the town centre in Long Eaton, Derbyshire. It's on the Erewash Valley Line, but a typically freight-only section which connects it with the Midland Main Line that's actually used quite steadily throughout most days. The street feels quite narrow due to how built-up it is, and pedestrians can use the footbridge here to skip waiting should they please. One of the two alarms here is new, but produces a rather squeaky tone I did not expect it to!
