Soham Cotes Foot Crossings - Railway Photography Hotspot
This time I will be looking at a couple of foot crossing near Soham Cotes.
The first of these crossings is reached via a public bridal way off of Blockmoor Road.
It crosses the single track section of line between Ely Dock Junction and Soham.
This is the view from the crossing looking towards Ely Dock Junction.
And in the other direction towards Soham.
We now move to Tile House level crossing, the second foot crossing is reached via a footpath that runs parallel to the both the railway and the Soham Lode river.
These are the views from the crossing in either direction.
Shots are also possible from the footpath that runs along the river bank as seen in this clip.
We will now look at a further selection of clips filmed in the area over the recent years.
