Track to Gloucester

Out and about this afternoon doing good things. Dropped F.M.i.L. off to church for private prayer (no masses being said during lockdown). Then delivered bags of girls and boys baby clothes to a few struggling young mothers in Gloucester. 
On the way back home I stopped at the C0-OP (grocery shop) to pick something up for dinner. Just about to drive out of the car park and I remembered I hadn't picked F.M.i.L. up! It's ok, private prayer was 1300 to 1500 and she'd had an hour so by the time I got back to Church it was 1415.
I stopped about 50 yards from this level crossing and walked back to take the photo, thought it might be a bit unusual. 
It's the Horton Road crossing and you can see the points where trains leaving Gloucester station, might be able to make it out in the distance, split off to go to Cheltenham and the Midlands and another route to Swindon/Plymouth. Out the other side of the station trains take you to Wales.
It was quite safe, no clanging bells or flashing red lights and each side there is a pedestrian walkway marked out in white lines.
