Gates Swing Against Frinton

摘要

The campaign to save Frinton-on-Sea's iconic level crossing gates has suffered a major blow. The Office of Rail Regulation has backed Network Rail's plan to replace the steam-age gates with a barrier system operated via CCTV from Colchester-part of a multi-million pound scheme on the Colchester-Walton line. Frinton has long considered itself one of England's most genteel towns and feels that modern barriers would not be in keeping with its traditional atmosphere.
