AnotherAs I lived in East Hull, I never had cause to visit the west of the city and thus had never seen a level crossing close up.
I figured that if the road crosses the tracks, then the tracks must stop at one side and then continue on the other. So how did the trains get across the road? I reasoned that they must leave the track, free-wheel across the tarmac and land back on the tracks at the far side.
