Dullingham Station and level crossing Dullingham is a stop for some Cambridge-Ipswich trains - and a reminder of railways as they used to be as it still has a signal box and traditional hand-operated crossing gates. The signal box is a good example of the Great Eastern Railway type once found all over East Anglia.
