Aylesford
Aylesford station Level crossing. I didn't pick the best day of the week as there was a reduced train service so the level crossing gates raised and lowered only twice an hour rather than the normal four times. I timed the gates and they take approx 22/23 secs from the initial alarm sounding to the gates being in the lowered position so an exposure of 30 secs was about right. There is a closed road opposite so you can set your tripod up without issue.
