Beautiful bit of East Anglia - and so very "Hurry Up And Wait" in places.

I used to have a company van to use for work, but having a company train is just showing off.

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

@General_Confusion I do have a company van to get me to the train to be fair.

[@martyn6792]

Is Ely level crossing closed ? when did it close ? Another great ride, quite a lot of the line speed is fairly low

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

Yes it was closed in 2018 when they opened the southern bypass

[@martyn6792]

@@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck I was looking at the crossing as you went over it and thought a piece of roadway was missing, surprised they didn't remove it entirely

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

@martyn6792 I don't really know why they haven't taken it out completely

[@davidpanton3192]

20:36 Shippea *Hill*? Is this irony?

[@AngliaCabRides-vv5ck]

@davidpanton3192 It took me a sec to get *hill* irony haha
