A quiet level crossing located beside the rural and peaceful Mobberley Station on the Mid Cheshire Line near Knutsford. It has two full-road-width barriers and is controlled from the small signal box located next to it. It is seen in this video activating for the two hourly services on the line, timetabled to meet here, as well as a loaded wood pellet train running to Drax Power Station in Yorkshire about ten minutes later. These trains are hard to escape when up north!
