A passenger service and freight service, both bound for Oakham from Stanstead Airport and Whitemoor Yard respectively, are seen passing this level crossing, in between the villages of South Luffenham and North Luffenham, in a rather scenic and hilly spot near Rutland Water. This isn't a very wide road, and there are only two barriers here, one covering the entire width of road on each side. The alarms here aren't too loud either, and one of these sounds with a different kind of tone to the other (a 'beep-beep' tone rather than a sweeping tone).

Thanks for watching!
