Fantastic video of some fantastic locations. Tallington is a VERY good location. Regarding the 3 girls at Sileby did you not step in and tell them not to do that? I would have had no problems doing so or even phone BTP on their Freephone number 0800 40 50 40? Perhaps you should make a copy of the video for the attention of BTP to see it or show the TOC, etc as it's quite a serious offence.
Still, a great video from some truly fantastic locations. :)
Thanks for you comments. With regard to the 3 girls at Sileby, I could have stepped in but it would have made no difference, they knew what they were doing! BTP are welcome to the video, but I very much doubt they will have any interest. The still photo was published in RAIL recentley in the Stop & Examine column.
@UKTrainMan I drive EMU's in Melbourne for far too many years. The s### for brains idiots would rather dangle their legs off the platforms than sit on the seats. I just stopped noticing them but enjoyed the reactions when they failed to notice me until it was almost too late. 35 years driving on both EMU and locos without a hit makes me a rare individual in the rail industry.
Thanks for the kind words!! I always try and get the balance right between the amount of filming and the amount of stills I take!
I do prefer the ECML to the WCML simply because the Class 91s and HSTs are slightly more interesting to me than the Pendolinos. However, I should really spend more time covering the WCML as I do like to record the current scene everywhere!
If you refer to the tractor at Tallington it doesnt bother me, it adds to the atmosphere!
As for getting to the places I tend to look on the OS map for places where roads/paths and railways meet. Also there is google maps or windows live which help too!
Tempsford and Offord Cluny used to be my local crossings - thanks for sharing :)

Why is the white mesh used on level crossing gates in England rather than simply the red bar alone?

@WBDE The mesh attached to the barriers is supposed to be a deterrent to prevent people from simply ducking under the barriers when they are lowered.

the foot crossing-very sobering thought that frm red light to passing train the time lapse is only short of 40 seconds.

Nationalized the railway again!
