The reason why Ham Hall railway is no longer in use, is because first of all,it is named after the country house the railway was built on, and secondly Ham Hall was also a colliery, and the reason it was closed, either the coal mine closed, or it was one of the railways that Breeching closed
What a crossing... Signs tagged or damaged, wigwags damaged as well and very mossy, lights destroyed, some of them don't have any bulbs. All that in a line that looks like it has never seen any train, so the crossing hasn't "closed" once (in quotation because no barriers here!) All that in the middle of nowhere, aside from the river just before it. Quite a shame, and quite sad to see.
Now that is pretty cool! Also quite tragic at the same time in that it has never been used. Interesting how most of the red/amber light covers are missing, which makes the crossing look really tired, but also really interesting at the same time. If I'm ever up that way, I'll have a look myself, as this peice of infrastructure is pretty iconic and one-of-a-kind! Fabulous showcase and a very informative description there! 😁👍👍
Thanks! 😁👍 Yeah, whilst it's a very interesting crossing to look at, it is a bit sad looking at the state it's now left in, damaged and vandalized. Would've been a nice crossing had trains actually used this line if it was completed.
@Skylar Abreu NO ONE EXPLAINED WHERE IT IS / WHERE IT IS FROM AND TO, PLUS WHEN DID THE LINE OPEN AND CLOSE, EXACT DATES PLEAE,DAY, MONTH YEAR, THANKS.
Nice video! 😁👍 Probably one of my favourite abandoned crossings within my area - pretty unique! This crossing was installed in late 1999 (or early 2000) I believe. It’s very strange that this spur was being built but never got completed in the end.
Thank you 😁 Yeah, was a bit sad looking at the vandalized signs and damaged warning lights. I'm surprised it's all still here and was never removed. Now left to reveal a line that was never completed or used
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel hey there! I wonder if there would be any plans to reopen this part of the railway branch at Coleshill? It could be a good stretch for crosscountry.
The railway line seen in the video was built for a power station, however I don't think it was ever built and is now a large industrial estate. As a result, I don't think there will be any need for this line at all now.
The railway line across the crossing was never completed and stopped around 200 metres away. It was supposed to run into the industrial estate. Thank you, greetings from the UK 🙂
I was very tempted to push one of the plungers in to see what happened, but the thought and fluke chance of the crossing actually still working and then being unable to deactivate put me off.
This crossing is beside a nature reserve and there's a carpark next to it. There was a few people walking up and down so I didn't want to create any unwanted attention. Considering its age I didn't know what would happen so thought if was best to leave it be.
@@AutoUnder Same lol, but it was the smart decision though I wish I could go there and do it, but that won’t happen and its probably been removed now anyway 😞
Wow, that's a strange crossing. It reminds me very much of the crossing in Shoeburyness. You probably haven't heard of it but in Shoebury high street, right next to the train station, there is a single track railway that crosses the road. It has manual gates, which I imagine the driver uses, and the railway disappears into a field and goes behind some houses. Every night between 22:30 and 00:30 a train carrying ammunition to the MOD place in Shoberyness uses it. When I go there to visit some family, I can hear it's horn just as I am getting ready for bed. I was wondering if you knew about it or wanted to film it. I have walked over the tracks many times but I have never stayed up to film it. Kind regards, Boom😄.
Thanks Boom 😁 I have actually heard of that crossing and know roughly where it is. I've not yet been to it though. Interesting it's used late at night.
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Yeah, I think it’s used at that time so that there is no traffic. The gates only cover the pavement so the train has to go into the road barrierless. I don’t know when the train returns though🤔😄.
@@SgtChip Yeah, that would make sense but it comes at the same time every night and it’s tones echo over the whole of Shoebury. I imagine they do it at that time because the driver has to get out and open the gates, stopping traffic by hand because there are no lights or electric barriers👍.
I missed this one when you uploaded it! Out of all the abandoned crossings, I think this one is interesting where it was put in but the line was never completed. Great you managed to get up there and film it 👍
Thank you 😁 Yeah, it's very weird seeing this crossing and then the line ending only a few hundred metres further up. I was glad to see it was all still here.
I can imagine the vegetation is much more dense in the summer, which over time has caused damage to all the warning lights. The track isn't that bad, but the signals are quite hidden.
That's truly a waste of good equipment. It's only hope now is preservation (unlikely) or reactivation and finishing of the spur for industrial purposes (can't even describe how unlikely). Good call on not pushing the plungers for the crossing. If those rail signals are still on and working, it likely means all of the wiring is ready, and the quiet nature preserve would have had an odd noise join: A Yodalarm.
Unfortunately both of those things are very unlikely as there's now not much to preserve at this crossing, and the line was built for a power station which is now a large industrial estate. I was tempted to see what happened but as you said, the chance the equipment might still work was why I didn't tamper with the plungers.
If you walked left up the line, where would it take you to? It would be interesting to see where it leads, even though its derelict, perfect place for walkers
It would eventually lead to the Mainline which I believe is fenced off a few hundred metres down. There are buffers and the end of the line only 100 metres in the other direction.
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel oh ok, thanks. Might have to go have a look some day, probably after another COVID lockdown which seems inevitbaly. Merry Christmas!
I went here a few days ago, and the crossing equipment has now been removed. The track is still here though, but it’s been fenced off on both sides of the road.
Hi what about doing the old March to Wisbech line in Cambridgeshire as this had AHB with loud bells and there was 2 of those and at Coldham and Waldersea Sidings had the full length wooden gates which I believe are still there
I believe this crossing was never actually used as the line was never completed. Installed in the early 2000s so it's been sadly left and abandoned for many years now 😕
All of those abandoned signs, tracks and equipment could be donated to a preserved railway to be repaired and used again rather than be left to deteriorate.
Yeah, they're certainly a waste left here, getting dirty and damaged underneath vegetation. I bet all the equipment here will just be scrapped once it's finally removed as it won't be worth trying to repair it I imagine
Idk why, but I would've pushed the plunger. For science. I tried coming here in Google maps, but can only see one Wigwag. From twelve years ago. The one that has no shades on it and the cracked lens. Sad though, bc it's now believes to have been removed
Thank you 😁 I search online through pictured and use Google Maps to find old rail lines and abandoned crossings. Some I already know about and have not filmed yet.
The video description has all the information, basically a line that would've been used for a power station but this area was turned into an industrial estate instead
It looks like something out of a post apocalypse film! My guess is that they thought the line would be completed at some point so they left the crossing equipment there ready for that situation. Since the track was laid a train could theoretically come along even though there was nowhere to go. They didn't think it was worth paying someone to remove the equipment because maybe next year they will need it. But no one maintained it so it degraded. Leaving the euipment there might have protected the cables though so at least they might be possible to use even if the equipment needed replacing. Or its possible that it just fell through the cracks. It might not be on the crossing database since the line was not open so no one realised it needed to be removed.
I'd still look too seen if the plungers work, go back when its quiet, early morning & test it. I wonder how much network rail waste illuminating useless signals,
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel 😮 - I assume they are halogen bulbs, and didn’t know how long they last, that they are still lit - if you had recorded this in the evening it might have been a bit more noticeable - the sun was too bright for the camera to see the lights
Nice signals. Made by the company GEC, we also have a couple of them left here in my country. Filmed them on my channel... anyways very cool crossing 👍🏻
Yeah, very rare to find these sorts of lights in the UK too. I forgot that these were also used in Singapore. I think Hong Kong may have had similar lights too?
@@UKLevelCrossingsChannel Yes. Hong Kong, Singapore andSouth Africa. After the 60s and 70s they were phased out in Britain and moved to the british colonies but in the 90s these former colonies have started replacing them too with the newer styled signals...
strange to see farm gates at a crossing! sad to see a crossing in this condition and im guessing its never even seen a train and complete with signals.
Unfortunately not, the line was never completed so this crossing was never used by a train. The whole crossing and even the signals are still here. What's even more weird is that the signals are still turned on.
The only train that went on this line was probably Thomas the Dank engine once and never again. Now the dank engine is a sad old rusty filthy steam engine.
Yeah they are quite dirty, however there are plastic shades and colour lenses missing from the lights so it would be very difficult to restore them fully. They will probably eventually be scrapped some time in the future.
Yeah, whilst it was very interesting to look at, felt a bit sad looking at the state it had turned into, and what it could've looked like if the line was completed and opened
Well what I meant by untouched is that they've not been moved since being installed. Mostly the weather and the vegetation around the crossing has made a change.

Is no train there is 😓
What song ?
I would of pressed the plunger see if the crossing was still active. such an amazing level crossing.
Doubt it is

Hi I like your sentence
You should've pressed the button!! It would be tempting to salvage that old Yodalarm too
I was very tempted to push one of the plungers in to see what happened, but the thought and fluke chance of the crossing actually still working and then being unable to deactivate put me off.
I would've because it looks like hardly anybody uses it and it would (in theory) time out eventually; I wouldn't if it was on a main road

HE RE-DID HAMS HALL! The only videos that were on the platform were from like 4 years ago.
Yeah, it hasn't been filmed much. I've probably done the most complete video of this crossing
2:37 Very apocalyptic-looking. :) It's a shame the crossing never actually got to see any use. Not to mention a complete waste of money.
Why does it look like someone took a bite out of the "To Contact Railway" sign?
Not sure, I think because of the vegetation growing behind, it may have bent or broken the sign. Either that or someone was hungry 😉
Maybe my countrymen were involved in that: it says ONLY THE POLISH DIASPORA written above it in dirt.
All of those abandoned signs, tracks and equipment could be donated to a preserved railway to be repaired and used again rather than be left to deteriorate.

Can you walk up the railway line, or will it go to live tracks?
I think it goes about 0.2 miles as abandoned track and then leads to the mainline which is the Birmingham to Peterborough line
