Police officers have given a driver words of advice after a vehicle was left stranded on a level crossing.

People travelling between the Isle of Sheppey and Sittingbourne are being warned to expect disruption as the Kingsferry Bridge will close again for eight days.

A stark warning has been issued about the dangers of misusing level crossings after 90 near misses in Kent, Sussex and Wessex in the last year.
