There may be a signal box next door but it doesn't control Foxton level
crossing. That is controlled by CCTV from Cambridge panel.

I don't think that's crossing control CCTV, just traffic-watching
CCTV. A signalling CCTV would be arranged so that the barrier post
didn't block the view.

I happened to go past there today. The camera that took the pictures in
http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Home/Slideshow-Driver-runs-red-traffic-
light-at-level-crossing-01082011.htm
is definitely not a level crossing camera; apart from anything else,
it's not duplicated.

The newspaper story says:

"The crossing controller who manually operates the barriers
witnessed the incident as well as it being caught on CCTV."

So unless he has binoculars and very long arms, he's going to have to be
on site.
