Level Crossing Protest


At Egginton in Derbyshire a protest has stopped a train on the main line. But these are not hot-heads and activists, they are local councillors, a teacher and concerned villagers. Reporter Tim Downes talks to a representative about why they don't want a European style half barrier crossing. In the days before radio microphones Downes needs to be careful not to let his cable get chopped when the train finally passes through.
