Hello. Welcome to South East Level Crossings and Trains Channel!
High quality, non-commentary videos of level crossings and the trains that use them, made solely as a hobby since late 2018, documenting my travels around the country visiting many different ones (over 1,000 now!). Based in Southeast England, though videos from locations all over England / Britain are featured.
If you like or love level crossings and the railways, then you're in the right place! Videos are uploaded every day at 3:45PM (Greenwich Mean Time / British Summer Time).
*IMPORTANT* I do not generally give permission for my videos to be re-published on TH-cam. If you wish to re-distribute / share my videos externally, please give full credit.
Thanks for reading! Please leave a like, and subscribe to the channel if you're enjoying what you're seeing, and make sure to turn notifications on if you want to be the first to hear about new videos.
Cheers! 👍😁

Blackford Level Crossing, Perth & Kinross
Date filmed: Friday the 12th of July 2024
Videos filmed at: 10:17 | 10:21 | 10:47
Route: Glasgow to Dundee Line
- Between Dunblane (DBL) and Gleneagles (GLE) Stations
Crossing type: Manually Controlled Barrier crossing (MCB)
Filming location: B8081 Moray Street, Blackford (PH4 1QA)
A level crossing located in the village of Blackford at the side of the A9, between the Ochills and the transition towards the Scottish Highlands in Perth & Kinross, roughly half-way between Stirling and Perth. It's quite a scenic location, and a hillside near the crossing may be worth a wander up if you've a fair wait until the next train. A wonderfully-presented signal box stands beside the crossing, this is where the crossing is controlled from, and semaphore signals can be seen around the crossing too. This is right near Gleneagles Golf Course as well as the bottling plant for a well-known bottled water company, and whilst this little road with the crossing is quite quiet, it does see its fair share of Heavy Goods Vehicles as there's an industrial estate on one side and a small container train terminal on the other. In the latter at the time of my visit was an intermodal container train being loaded up, and I saw the loaded train on the move a little later on elsewhere.
Remarkably, although despite the fact that the barrier arms themselves are new, this level crossing still retains old and now rare 'GWE' barriers which clatter a fair bit, and still have the characteristic throwing about of barrier skirts when they hit the raised position again. These are in good condition, and there didn't seem to be any incline that any replacement was / is due. As well as these, there are also two reasonably loud alarms which have (in my opinion) a very nice ring to them. Both seem quite old, but work well, and the one by the signal box is noticeably the loudest of the two (even though it may not sound it in the video as the rather annoying placement of a stony streetlight mast interfered with the sound in the position I was stood when up close in that corner).
Three trains are seen in this video: an Azuma, a HST, and a Class 170 'Turbostar'. The second was the last HST I caught on this trip to Scotland. I hope you enjoy these videos!

Great video and crossing! Neat to see some concrete street light poles there. I especially love the semaphores there though!
Nice video! I like how original this crossing is. Nice signalman for waiting for those dogwalkers to go past
Excellent Videos! This is a really nice Crossing and Signal Box but also the Alarms and GWE Barriers! 👍🏻👍🏻
These alarms are lovely!
Very nice video, the signal box is nice and looks in very good condition, it still uses old semaphore signal system. Great atmosphere. I am kolkata. India.❤❤
Excellent video as always 👍
Excellent video and crossing 👍
Great video 👍
Very nice crossing, love these alarms & short barriers. Wow that train came quick barriers just gone down. Fab catch. Lovely scenic crossing. ❤😊👍

Nice Video! 👍🏻
There's something wrong with the lights at the railway crossing at crossing 41
Lovely video mate! 👍
Nice video! Lovely gwe and also a lovely hst
Nice Video and Great Catch! 👍🏻
Amazing that you caught this In Nightmode, This is one of the Last 5th Gen crossings in the Country!
Strange. I would have thought it would not be safe or proper for a driver in control of a passenger train to get down and walk away from an operating powered up train. I would have thought a guard would have to do it.
I believe you’re the first person with a proper video of this crossing!
Turns out I may well have the first full sequence video of the current install :) Surprising given the amount of time between my visit and publishing, especially as the crossing isn't brand-new anymore really (it dates back to circa 2021-22)
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings A possible reason why there are so little videos of crossings like Kildonan because of a limited amount of services per day and/or the remote location.
On this particular crossing it's a legal requirement that as soon as the gates go up, a dog has to check it's safe.
cool!
Like watching your videos. Your camcorder is great.
Glad you do! I've had this one for a year and it's doing me really well
Nowadays, for those interested in videos containing Class 171s, the majority are 3 coach units! Therefore, no level crossing blockage! Check out our video too of this place from a few weeks ago!
Nice Video! And Congrats on 9K! 👍🏻👍🏻 I was almost near there on the same day you went!
Thank you! Yes, another milestone :)
Happy 6th Year of your channel!
Cheers! Another year has come round!
New LEDs too
this feels extremely dangerous
When i was in dingwall i was about to cross the crossing but the lights started flashing so i waited and no train came and i was stuck for 10 minutes and when the barriers went back up
Beautiful crossing. Fab compilations. Awesome catches. Love the name too! ❤😊👍
Loving these highland crossings all of them are in such pretty areas. The signal box is beautiful & looks in great condition. Nice to see. It still uses old semaphore signals too! I could live here! Beautiful view down the tracks, awesome trains one of my favourite crossings ever! Thanks. ❤😊👍
RIP Cross Lane Level Crossing, you will be missed. In Jamie's LC Map, it says that the crossing is permanently closed.
If it's still there when the road closure ends as some have speculated it might be, it will not have long. I'd say that was a long shot though.
Great catch brother 🤙🏻 4:37 lol did you nearly drop your camera from the horn?
I didn't nearly drop it tbh 😅
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings oh my bad I just saw the camera shake haha
Excellent video as always 👍
It's nice to know that even with these failures, there are such dilligent drivers making sure to make the safest crossing possible
It's just an example of how our railways are amongst the safest a railway can be.
Nice video! Shame it has a new alarm but it is still a really nice crossing! So nice aswell that the GWEs are made of metal still
Lovely video! Shame it’s been ruined with moflash.
I personally don't mind the one here too much. Quite rare for a Moflash alarm to fit in at all, and some ironically don't seem to be lasting very long 😅
Nice Videos! That’s a very interesting setup of this crossing! Good to know the Old Metal GWE Barriers are still here! 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice do you know if the signal box still in active service ?
Most of them aren’t like my hometowns station isn’t
This one at Blair Atholl is indeed
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings very cool!
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings Can you go to Billingshurst crossing one day it’s not that special but would be cool!
@@nickturner6249 Have done recently
Excellent video and catches 👍
0:20 gate alarm started
Rush hour is a great time to railfan!
This is exactly what I’d call fart 💨 arsing about! Wasting time for no real reason. It’s very rural; the lights are working fine and the Highway Code clearly states: Give way to trains! This is simply ridiculous!
Not necessarily. Signaller needs the assurance that the road lights are working (hence the driver got out), because no road lights and barriers failed in the raised positions = no trains running over. The time out was unfortunate, then the train passed, with caution as though it states in the Highway Code, it is on a bend and looks to be national speed limit. Good signalling and driving, a very dangerous situation dealt with perfectly.
Great video!
Lots of Excellent Videos! 👍🏻👍🏻 I only went here 2 days after you went then! Such a silly driver in Lowering 6.
Great video! What ridiculous driving in closure 6 tho. That pillock needs their licence taken of them
Absolutely. I was quite shocked to see such appalling driving. Certainly one of the worse misuses I've seen lately.
I had no idea trains to kings Lynn ran this late
I know no one care but I come over this crossing to get to school every morning
The driver in closure 6 was an absolute knob! And a depot whistle at 9:06!
Closure 6 not 8
Was going to say - since when has modern EMU stock had WHISTLES!? 😮
@@SouthWestCrossingsUK omg I’m stupid 😂
@@BRLCAMUK lol
I have seen this happen at the Whitehall crossing nr Canterbury west station once a train i was on slowed sharply, as it went passed the crossing the barrier was up I've seen this a few times even a car has been at the crossing before now waiting to cross
Looking at that lump of fresh tarmac I guess this crossing is fitted with BPM/BOD loops which are basically traffic sensing loops designed to stop the barriers from lowering onto a car.. The barriers will only lower if the loop shows clear. There is normally a 10s timer and if the loop is still occupied after 10s the crossing won't clear the DCI. However if the loops or the loop module fails then this can easily be the result... But yes as it's an AOCL+B it's perfectly appropriate for it to be passed with the barriers raised at caution provided at least half of the red road lights are operating on each side As shown, normal procedure is to give a sustained blast of the horn and pass at 5mph until the front of the train is off the crossing
Level crossings in GB don't have any such loops. Fresh tarmac will be after renewal or repair of the deck.
@@ChangesOneTim I can assure you that some are fitted with such loops. Although it's mainly something found on MCB-OD crossings where they are pretty much manditory there is now provision to fit them on other types if neccassay. That being said so far I've only actually seen them on MCB-OD crossings (always fitted on the YN and ZN sides and occasionally fitted on YO and ZO sides)
@@dasy2k1 Unless MCB-OD technical requirements have changed very recently, LIDAR and RADAR is used without the need for loops.
