201018h This is the road crossing by the former Marsh Mills Station on the Tavistock Branch. The signs for the crossing lights etc remain in the bushes, this crossing was last used on 29th April 2008 when the last clay train left Lee Moor Dries. On that day a party of us gathered to witness the last train, however by some unknown means we missed it, Maurice Dart came up trumps and organised a tour of Lee Moor Driers to make up for our disapointment.

Freightliner 66606 passes through Swindon on the 17th October 2020 Copyright Ken Mumford. Perhaps it adds a bit of colour to the picture but it's high time the 'numbskulls' with their spray cans were punished for their foolish and dangerous 'efforts' spray cans
Many thanks Ken.
