Burton Lane Number Two Level Crossing, Lincolnshire
Date filmed: Monday the 5th of August 2024
Video filmed at 15:01
Route: Grantham to Skegness 'Poacher' Line
- Heckington (HEC) is the closest station
Crossing type: Automatic Half Barrier Crossing (AHBC)
Filming location: Burton Road, Heckington (NG34 9QR)
A 5-car Class 170, with capacity boosted to cater for a busy Summer service to the seaside at Skegness, can be seen in this video filmed at this single-track half-barrier crossing in the village of Heckington, Lincolnshire. This is one of two level crossings on Burton Road with another located near the village of Asgarby after it loops round via Burton Pedwardine, and here an extra set of lights has been provided for a driveway. Heckington station still retains its signal box, mechanical semaphore signalling, absolute block, and manual level crossing which I drove over to get here, but didn't stop by due to time and train-related constraints. Hope you enjoy this short video here, though!
Trains featured:
170 512 & 170 417 (East Midlands Railway - Regional) - 0:42
2S19 Nottingham ➡ Skegness | 2 minutes late

Great video and crossing!
Excellent video as always 👍
Great video and nice crossing!
Great videos. Looks like a peaceful location
Great video!
Great video and nice crossing! Does Lincolnshire have more AHBs or MCBs, just out of curiosity?
Definitely quite a lot more of Lincolnshire's crossings are AHB's. The ones on the busy roads, in the towns, and on the re-signalled Peterborough to Lincoln Line seem to be the only MCB crossings, with some on some really busy roads even AHB or AHB-type!
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings Oh wow!
Nice video!
Great Vid!
Excellent video and crossing 👍
You done a great job. 😊
I love your videos ❤
Great video! Looks like there's the body of an old speed camera there used to mount a different CCTV camera now.
I get the impression that specific one is to combat against trespass, and could potentially play a voice message if detecting a trespasser.
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings Makes sense.
Nice video at great hale drove number one level crossing in Lincolnshire and nice alarm sounds by the way ❤❤❤❤🚂🚂🚂🚂🚄🚄🚄🚄🚄🚅🚅🚅🚅🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚆🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚇🚝🚝🚝🚝🚝🚝🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋🚋
Brilliant Vids!
Awesome video as always the delays are good as this area one of bare minimum with the mechanical signalling
Excellent video and crossing 👍
Beeeaaaaalllllddddd
One of my definite favourites :)
mk1 gwe barriers???????
These were the last ones left. They were replaced about 3 years ago now.
caseoh boarders
That was very cool bit different WigWags and the Barries then normal I enjoyed this video and well done from Christopher Laker
The make of those wigwams are pike signal company!
Thanks for the info!
Nice videos!
Nice! The alarms missing it's disk!
Nice video! Shame about the alarm being broken.
0:22 that alarm isn't going to last for much longer, water will probably going to get in it. Nice video!
Brilliant Videos!
First Level crossing alarm sounds like indonesia Level crossing alarm but I like it
Great video and crossing! I know the UK doesn't use any lenses larger than 8 inch for traffic/crossing signals, but I do feel like this is a situation that would've potentially benefited from larger 12 inch lenses.
Definitely.
RIP to that alarm it will be missed
Cool! I wanna come here one day.
These are some unique crossings! Great video!
Nice video Caleb!
They put new barriers in but they didn't replace that alarm
Well, that's because it works perfectly fine! It only seems to go quicker during cold and damp conditions
but it sounded faulty
@rpgllcphones7356 Unusual and uneven, yes. Faulty, no. It's perfectly audible and perfectly does what it is supposed to.
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings okay but noose Lane level crossing in the West Midlands has a faulty alarm that skips its tone once but it's a bit temperamental sometimes it does it and sometimes it doesn't
Excellent video as always 👍
Nice vids at Swineshead level crossing in Lincolnshire and nice alarms sounds as well.
Nice video! Although i hate these wig-wags personally
Brilliant video, but there's another level crossing in Grain so here are the coordinates: 51°26'26"N 0°41'25"E
I know about that one, and it seems very interesting and unusual. However, I've held back on going to that one as I cannot be entirely sure if it's accessible to the public.
Great video nice emr 170s
Excellent Vids! Really like these large border wigwags!
Awesome is this crossing controlled from Sleaford East signal box ?
It'll be monitored from Hubberts Bridge I think, not controlled as it's automatic.
9:44 noticed it does the pirton lol
No. It's just an amber re-activation...
@@SouthEastLevelCrossings like march
I guess this crossing is about to become MCB during the engineering works commencing at the start of February 2025.
Failing that it will no longer have the old kind of barriers.
I would have thought that the case eventually, although this is the only one I never noticed a road closure of such a length for out of that four.
i love sqare thing to the light thing mush mush but its old
Excellent video as always 👍
Great video and crossings! Glad you were able to get these guys filmed. Looks like the reflectors in the LED'd Forrest City Wigwags are starting to go bad, or at least a few have bulbs that don't play well with the reflectors. I think the reflector in the yellow light closest to you may straight-up be missing as well? That first one's also especially bizzarre with the fact it ain't a full-barrier crossing, yet the gates there still have skirts. Kinda reminds me of how the new signals at Cumberland Street/US 41A in Cowan, TN, have quad-gates, but none of the gate arms cover the center lane there. Wonder what those two posts just down the track from it are for, are they some kind of hi-wide detector, maybe? The second one's wigwags look like more Forrest City ones, just with the heads retrofitted with LED modules rather than LED bulbs. Not sure what model of LED modules they use though, it seems they may be screw-in types with the original Forest City lenses rather than full, self-contained modules like what are common over here. I could probably try taking a stab at what they are, but I'd definitely need to see some good close-up pictures of them lit. Wonder what the train to the Foster Yeoman terminal was carrying? Looks like the small building next to that crossing is abandoned as well.
The No.2 crossing is the last remaining crossing with the original equipment, the more upgraded crossing was like it as well with the barriers not covering the road, this will be because they are not long enough and because it is in a port no one really cares too much especially as they are set off by a keeper that drives to the crossings in their van and the keeper stays at the crossing. example of the modern crossing in its older state: th-cam.com/video/YXRO2GiDE-E/w-d-xo.html
@RH_TransportPhotography I remember that video.
Great Video! Nice to have even more content from these gems.
They are gems. Happy to provide!
Great to finally see more videos of these crossings, certainly been looking forward for this video!
Glad you enjoyed :)
Nice one! Lovely unique crossings
I’m sure your glad to have visited these crossings! Decent Videos!
