1272 posts 		In regards this message about Broughty Ferry LC:

" said:

That's the crossing that was destroyed by an HST sometime in the '90s .
The date of the incident with the Aberdeen - London I.C.E was 21st October 1991 and it resulted in destruction of two of the gates. A pity. However, Wikipedia's article states that "Dundee City Council had previously postponed planning permission to modernise the gates. They were replaced by the current arrangement of four barriers in 1995."

If the gates were wrecked in 1991 why did it take 4 years to replace them and did they replace the destroyed gates in the meantime?

From memory it was a very long running row between the residents, via the Council, and BR. The road was blocked off for all that time - it's the only road that's not over or under the line with most having some sort of height, weight or width restriction. I don't know what happened about the box though; it had been retained essentially as a gate box fringe to Dundee PSB but presumably not actually functioning as such during that time.

Yes I agree 3 is Attleborough: 2 does not have a staggered platform but I think it's somewhere on the same line.

Peter / jc92,

You are right. Picture 3 of the ones I posted is indeed Attleborough so well done for that. As for picture 2, it is not on the same route as Attleborough: a clue as to where that might be is in the picture if you remember that the day is a Saturday. But the location in picture 2 is not on the same line as Attleborough.
