A fine set of traditional crossing gates, still in occasional use as the line remained open to freight traffic until 1980, despite passenger services having ceased in 1961. The bus is no.123 of Grimsby-Cleethorpes Transport, an undertaking jointly owned by the Boroughs of Grimsby and Cleethorpes, which had merged their separate undertakings in 1957. It is a Leyland Fleetline with Roe bodywork, new in 1977. This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761
