Ramsgate?

It's good but it's not right.

Is it Weymouth?

No. I'll give out a small clue, it lies south of the three locations mentioned.

St Helier, Jersey?

That means south of Padstow / Teignmouth... Is it Mainland Britain, Channel Isles or elsewhere?

Yes, we have a winner.

This one should be dead easy, Truvelo and locals still have to PM. I'll give it an hour

Think everybody must have been having an early night yesterday!

So I'll say it - the A137 next to Manningtree station.

NEXT!

It was intentionally easy but I decided to post it anyway because of the rare layout.

My first thought was by Ely station, but the bridge there is wider for traffic.

My initial guess was Berkswell Station but then I went to look, it seems it is just a bridge (a 7ft clearance one at that)

Has this been redesigned, or has it always been this way. I'm sure I remember it as 2-way option, but I could be thinking of somewhere else.

What happened to the level crossing?

Wikipedia says it was replaced in 2004.

I was aware of the removal of the crossing at Canley, but I guess this one passed me by.

I'm sure if was wrong, but I seem to remember someone stating that the crossing at Berkswell was the most down-timed in the UK. Meaning I guess that the barriers were down for longer than any other.

7ft clearance seems pretty low.

I mentioned this on one of my PMs but I initially thought the layout from the end of this clip from Tales from the Unexpected was the same location in Manningtree until I rewatched the clip recently.

Out of curiousity can anyone guess where the real location is in the clip? I'm certain that it's based in the east anglian region because the thriller was made by Anglia Television.

Oddly enough, Chris mentioned Ely earlier in the thread, and I'm sure that is Ely Cathedral at about 1:45 in the clip. I'd therefore have thought the level crossing at the end of the clip was somewhere around Queen Adelaide, yet it doesn't look quite right.

Having scanned the map and Geograph photos it has to be the one on the B1098 at Stonea (on the line from Ely to March). Confirmed it's Ely Cathedral seen from the south, so the bus is on the A142 going E.

I should give you my thanks crb11 (in which I will) because the layout in Sixteen Foot Bank matches the one in the clip, albeit with a few features missing like the telephone box (and Anglia TV).

A more accurate image of the layout is here incase anyone would like to object.

I knew all those hours walking and cycling round the Fens would come in use some day . Haven't been up that road in particular (must do to use the tunnel now), but it makes it easy to visualise the maps.

I think the phone box is likely to have been genuine - there was a station there so it would be usual to have a means of phoning from it. Probably got removed from lack of use over the last 20 years like so many.
