    Tips

    The longest railway crossing in the UK. 6 tracks with some high speed. Because of its length and high speed trains this crossing is risky so take care crossing.

    To avoid the crossing, head south to Marholm where there is a pedestrian bridge with a cycle gutter along Hurn Road. Going under Werrington Parkway, Lincoln Road will return you to Glinton to resume the journey

      The barriers are only open if there are no trains coming so not high risk unless you decide to stop for a picnic in the middle. Can be quite a wait at peak times though with so many lines needing to be clear before you can proceed.

        Handy rest point, can be here for a while if you get lucky/unlucky.
