Are there examples other than the A142 at Ely Station?

A10 Milton Road just south of the science park in Cambridge!

Most of them are underpasses at level crossings, which are a bit
obvious when it comes to height restrictions (or so we think - bashes
are frequent).

There's one somewhere near Harwich, which is very similar to Ely and got
a bus (coach?) bashed about a year ago.

Barnwell Road and Coldhams Lane in Cambridge near the Sainsburys
roundabout. The Coldhams Lane one feels quite low, though maybe because
it's very skewed.

think theres more than we might guess, Anglia isnt as always flat as people
can assume, train stations often seem to have been built up higher than the
surroundings (possibly due to worries about flood risks), certainly the routes
passes over several of the major roads in the region at least like the
M25,A120,A14, Colchester north station is by a bridge with a road, there are
probably plenty of other smaller stations with similar setups.

On a historical note. Haverhill was high, Somersham, Linton, Bartlow,
all long gone.

Chelmsford always used to have paint-scrapes under the railway bridge
by the station, where the buses clipped it because they didn't stay
between the markings.
Strictly speaking, that isn't Anglia, of course ...

It's served by Greater Anglia, and as far as most people are concerned
East Anglia includes Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. So Chelmsford counts.

Several, and in many cases you wouldn't get a single decker under them!

Of course there are. There's a very low one next to Chelmsford station,
for example.

The original thread arose from Rail Replacement Buses between Peterborough
and Cambridge, so more West Anglia than Anglia.
