Lidlington Station and level crossing

One of the new 'green' trains No. 230004 passing over the level crossing at Lidlington to enter the 'up' platform with a driver training working. The 'up' platform has been moved to the other side of the crossing from opposite the 'down' platform where the photographer is standing. This change was made when modern signalling was installed on the Marston Vale line. It helps to minimise level crossing closure and the build up of road traffic, now that there are no level crossing keepers. All signals and level crossings are now controlled remotely from a new Signalling Centre at Ridgmont. Other minor stations adjacent to level crossings on this line have been so modified.
