A new level crossing junction is taking shape at a railway station in Suffolk.
Network Rail engineers have almost finished moving the signal at Oulton Broad North to a new location 50 metres down the track and completion is scheduled for Monday, 28 November.
In addition, the passenger shelter is also being relocated, while a barrier directing people along the platform to the new stopping position will be installed.
The scheme has been delivered as part of the £40 billion Railway Upgrade Plan and will bring significant improvements in journey times for motorists.
Richard Schofield, Network Rail's Route Managing Director for Anglia, said: "We listened to the community who told us that they were unhappy with the current waiting times at this crossing.
"Together with the train operator we've found a solution that benefits motorists and doesn't increase journey times for passengers. We are committed to improving our level crossings as part of our Railway Upgrade Plan."
