Level crossing or level furious?

Telegrammed by our Independent Expert
The goths and vandals of Network Rail continue on their course of pillage through the nation's Victorian rail heritage.


After upsetting the genteel residents of Frinton by removing their cherished gates in the middle of the night they have repeated the process in the charming mid-Wales town of Caersws.


This week the residents were horrified to find the gates gone and a hideous grey metal stockade surrounding the station.




Shame the wreckers can't turn their attention to some modernist monstrosities like Euston, Blackpool North or Fort William.
