  • Abandoned Hams Hall (EAR) Level Crossing, Coleshill, Warwickshire.
    Location: 52.520307, -1.693010
    Date Filmed: 15-01-2020
    A very rare, hidden and rather interesting abandoned level crossing, found at the end of the Hams Hall industrial estate, near Coleshill. The crossing was installed in the early 2000s on a branch / spur line that was never extended or completed. If built, it would've probably followed the River Tame, into the what was Hams Hall Power Station. The area is now an industrial estate. Whatever was planned was never started or completed, leaving the line to stop only 200 metres from the crossing. The level crossing has been left abandoned on what I believe is an Emergency Access Road to the estate, hence it has 'EAR' as part of its name. It was suppose to be an open level crossing, with just four warning lights. Some of the plastic lenses on the lights have cracked, exposing the insides of the concave metal which the halogen bulb is attached to. The crossing probably had two alarms, although I only found one, so the other one seems to have gone missing. Most of the approach signs have been vandalized. There are two signals either side of the crossing which very oddly still work and have been left on. There are two crossing buttons ('plungers') which are used to activate the level crossing. I didn't touch them in the surprising and awkward case they may still work. Its a very hidden crossing, beside a Nature Reserve, and you wouldn't find it unless you walked right past it, or saw it online. Nevertheless, another fascinating piece of railway infrastructure has been left to rot among the trees, probably never to be used again.
    Thanks For Watching!

    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.

    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.

    • @UKLevelCrossingsChannel
      @UKLevelCrossingsChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yeah, indeed quite a sad sight. The railway line stops only a mere 200 metres from this crossing. I don't think a single train used this crossing.

    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!

    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

      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.

    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.

    • @UKLevelCrossingsChannel
      @UKLevelCrossingsChannel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      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.

    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,

    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.
