7th Feb 1991

It's freezing cold and I have pulled up at the level crossing at Sibsey station (that's my trusty Ford Fiesta parked on the right) to witness the 13.21 Skegness to Doncaster passing over the crossing after the signalman closed the gates. Traffic is waiting patiently to get on its way, a time-honoured scene that would have been taking place day-in, day-out for years.
