View from a Walton-on-the-Naze to Colchester service, on Frinton-on-Sea level crossing, on the evening of 1st June 2021. The hugely iconic and controversial former level crossing gates by the station here, dating from Victorian times and hand-operated, became the subject of a bitter preservation campaign, including lobbying in Parliament, when it was decided to replace them with automatic barriers. The campaign was unsuccessful and Greater Anglia went ahead with their removal in 2009. See image 23386.
