    This crossing is very unique as there are four very rare Mk1 British Rail Western Region (BRWR) barriers. These are some of the oldest UK level crossing barriers, having existed since the 1960s, and are very rare to find. The crossing also doesn't have any alarms whatsoever, making it completely silent when it lowers. Since it is controlled from the on-site signal box and the crossing doesn't see many pedestrians, it doesn't necessarily need alarms.
    Thanks For Watching!

    this is not far from my house, i go here often for trainspotting, used to be controlled from the signalbox, which was the signalbox for the puxton & worle station which shut in the 1980s and is what the raised platform beside the crossing is left over from

    I was supposed to visit this and Hewish East LC a few weeks ago, but the line's been closed for engineering works due to the flooding. I just hope I make it in time to catch the old crossings...

      Ooh it'll be quite tight as they are due renewals in February. Good luck.

    Nice crossing, but needs updating. Needs alarm & hew barriers.

      Yeah it’s quite sad seeing a renewal it’s due to their barrier power packs Ali the signalman told me

      I’ve recognised on the GWR app for Weston super mare trains are late because puxton and Worle level crossing or Hewish level crossing failed to lower

    Honestly, this crossing is dangerous because no alarm

    • @UKLevelCrossingsChannel
      @UKLevelCrossingsChannel  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Its not too dangerous. It is monitored from the on-site signal box which is visible in the video. The crossing is activated when it is clear of pedestrians and the barriers can be stopped easily if needed.
